RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...
Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...
Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...
Studying a trio of non-coding RNA molecules produced abundantly in bacterial cells, a SLAC/Stanford-led research team discovered extravagant, multistrand complexes made entirely of RNA—structures they ...
The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...
What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...
