What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers soon discovered that it can form double-stranded structures, which are ...

RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including gene expression and regulation. Understanding the structure of RNA is essential because its function is ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA.

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

Researchers led by chemist Claudia Höbartner have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of ...

The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

No large RNA structure database exists that correlates sequence with 3D topology. Successful protein-centric methods like AlphaFold remain unavailable for RNA, creating a critical gap in ...

In plants, secondary and tertiary RNA structures, such as G-quadruplexes, play vital roles, especially under conditions favoring structural stability, such as low temperatures. Despite the ...

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