Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...
Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...
A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...
A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...
This process is controlled by a large protein-RNA complex called the spliceosome. MIT biologists have now discovered a new layer of regulation that helps to determine which sites on the messenger RNA ...
A team led by UNC School of Medicine researchers is the first to confirm that a small molecule called miR-29 plays a role in driving aging. Their new findings are published in Communications Biology.
tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...
