This discovery, along with the identification of other nitrogenous bases, laid the foundation for our understanding of DNA and RNA structure. Cytosine can be synthesized chemically or isolated from ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA ... An RNA polymerase II molecule is about 15 nanometers across, or roughly 5,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. This image was ...

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

This is an RNA molecule generated in the lab that the team first presented in 2023. The researchers from the Institute of Organic Chemistry were able to determine the 3D structure of SAMURI using ...

RNA is similar to DNA, but whereas DNA is long lived, RNA is a more transient molecule. A type of RNA, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), functions as the intermediate ‘messenger’ that carries ...

During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While ...

A new study from the Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble characterized the structure of an important trypanosomal protein ...

No large RNA structure database exists that correlates ... Researchers collected single-molecule AFM images of benchmark RNAs in distinct conformations. Unsupervised machine learning and deep ...

has now uncovered the three-dimensional structure of a very special ribozyme: SAMURI. This is an RNA molecule generated in the lab that the team first presented in 2023 [Link: https://www.uni ...

have improved our understanding of molecular biology. However, these models often focus on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or protein sequences, and the unique structural contributions of RNA are ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...
