On the left are three forms of the same RNA molecule, which is stabilised into a single form (on the right) by mitoxantrone. Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein ...

Scientists gained new insights into RNA-mediated regulation of proteins (riboregulation) and its role in controlling cell growth, and most importantly how undifferentiated cells (embryonic stem cells) ...

All three RNAPs have catalytic cores consisting of 10 subunits. Five of these are core subunits which form crab claw shapes with DNA at their centres, channels for RNA products and NTP substrates as ...

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 ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method, published in Molecular Cell, is a powerful ...

DNA and RNA are the molecular blueprints of life, each with unique structures and roles. DNA’s double-helix stability makes it ideal for long-term genetic storage, while RNA’s versatility powers ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), ...

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a short-lived molecule copied from DNA that enables cells to use genetic information. Specific DNA sequences are copied into RNA, which then delivers these instructions to ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...
