In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a ...

To understand how RNA functions, it is essential for scientists to know its 3D structure. “NuFold is the RNA equivalent of AlphaFold. Alphafold is the computational protein structure prediction method ...

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 ...

For years, researchers described DNA and RNA as linear chains of four building blocks—the nucleotides A, G, C, and T for DNA; and A, G, C, and U for RNA. But these information molecules are much more ...

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 ...

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