RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...
SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...
Atomic-resolution structure of a ribozyme yields insights into RNA catalysis and the origins of life
Santa Cruz, CA — Which came first, nucleic acids or proteins? This question is molecular biology’s version of the “chicken-or-the-egg” riddle. Genes made of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) contain the ...
Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...
The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new research study published in Nature Communications highlights how Depixus’ scalable single molecule technology can provide detailed mechanistic insights into RNA-ligand ...
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrakis Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery of a new class of small molecule medicines that directly target RNA, today announced that ...
This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Adam Buckle, Julia Unsicker and Iain McWilliam and presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 in affiliation with Arrayjet ...
Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...
