Comment: Delta ribozyme is a catalytic self-cleaving structure, folded in both genomic and antigenomic RNAs of hepatitis delta virus. For review, see e.g.[1]. The pairing 706-707/723-724 was found in the crystal structure [2]. The sequence and numbering corresponds to "Italy" variant. For the compilation of HDV sequences, see [3]. The cleavage site is between nucleotide positions 685-686.
