RNA is similar to DNA but contains uracil instead of thymine (T) and has a single-stranded structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases ...

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 ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Overview of RNA repair – There is an emerging appreciation of the existence of “RNA repair” pathways that rely on RNA ligases to maintain or manipulate RNA structure in response to purposeful RNA ...

The different building blocks can affect the complementarity of the RNA molecules, alter their structure, and enable the binding of specific proteins that mediate various biochemical and cellular ...

The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...

Enzymes made of RNA are called "ribozymes." A group of researchers led by Professor Claudia Höbartner at the University of Würburg (JMU) has now uncovered the three-dimensional structure of a ...

The system was trained on a pseudo-structure database covering a broad range of RNA folds and tested on multiple RNAs that exceeded 200 nucleotides in length (RNase P RNA, a cobalamin riboswitch ...
