Under these conditions, RNA has the ability to split without adding a water molecule. The end of the RNA strand remains water ...

RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It's critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study published in Nature Communications, University of ...

Researchers studying gene expression have access to vast amounts of data from cells or tissues. This is thanks to advances in ...

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 ...

Specifically, Xist RNA, a long noncoding RNA molecule, is responsible for crumpling up one copy of an X chromosome in each female cell. Researchers have known that Xist is critically important ...

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 ...

However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute ...

Trypanosomes are parasites that cause sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and various animal diseases. Diagnosis and treatment remain complex and no effective vaccine has been developed. A better ...

The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically 73-90 nucleotides long. The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of ...

However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions. Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage.
