概要 The RNA world hypothesis suggests that chemical networks consisting of functional RNA molecules could have constructed a primitive life-like system leading a first living system. We have demonstrated the importance of the environment at both high temperature and high pressure, using different types of hydrothermal flow reactor systems and high-pressure equipment. In the present study, we have attempted to develop an alternative easy-to-implement method for high-pressure mea- surements and demonstrate that the system is applicable as an efficient research tool for high-pressure experiments at pressures up to 30 MPa. We demonstrate the usefulness of the system by detecting the high-pressure influence for the self-cleavage of avocado hammerhead ribozyme (ASBVd(−):HHR) at 45–65 ◦C. A kinetic analysis of the high-pressure behavior of ASBVd(−):HHR shows that the ribozyme is active at 30 MPa and its activity is sensitive to pressures between 0.1–30 MPa.
