RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function ...
A study captured the first near frame-by-frame view of a self-splicing ribozyme assembling into its active form. Using ...
Researchers have visualised, in unprecedented detail, how a large RNA molecule assembles itself into a functional machine The image represents ...
Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.
Researchers say they have recovered RNA from the remains of a woolly mammoth that lived roughly 39,000 years ago.
Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...
RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...
Cryo-EM revealed HIV-1 integrase’s distinct structures as it shifts between its two roles of DNA integration and RNA-binding.
"Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative," wrote H. G. Wells. This principle—that survival requires ...
