RNA has recently gained attention as a promising drug target. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of RNA structures have been determined experimentally, and the process of uncovering these structures ...

Scientists have made a major discovery about ADAR1—a protein that controls RNA-induced immune responses—paving ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Unfortunately, only a small fraction of RNA structures have been determined experimentally, and the process of uncovering these structures requires significant time and effort. Using this time ...

A research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a ...

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 created by reconstructing X-ray diffraction crystallography ...

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Nobel Laureate and University of Chicago professor Jack Szostak delivered two lectures on the origin of life to an audience of professors, graduate, and undergraduate students the Monday and Tuesday ...
