With a $50 million initial investment from Flagship, Terrana will use RNA from benign plant viruses as a chassis to carry ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

The researchers say that is a theme in their results: where oligonucleotide structures obey the most-basic rules—think of adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine pairing in RNA—AlphaFold 3 makes ...

Direct translocation of RNA with secondary structures using single-molecule electrophoresis through protein nanopores shows significant fluctuations in the measured ionic current, in contrast to ...

1 Introduction Many RNAs rely on a well defined structure to exert their biological function. Moreover, many RNA functions can be understood without knowledge of the full tertiary structure, relying ...

Dr. Cech is a biochemist and the author of the forthcoming book “The Catalyst: RNA and the Quest to Unlock Life’s Deepest Secrets,” from which this essay is adapted. From E=mc² to splitting ...

The thermodynamic stability of RNAs, which is important for unravelling structure-function relationships for RNAs, can be controlled by loops. To predict RNA 3D structure and stability, we have ...

A research team led by scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER ...
