This RNA-containing complex can then inhibit transcription of an mRNA molecule that has ... because of their abundance in this structure. These molecules function to process rRNA molecules ...

mRNA serves as the critical link between the genetic information encoded in DNA and the production of proteins that carry out various functions in the cell. Despite these structural features, mRNA ...

The popularity of mRNA-based therapeutics has surged over the past few years. To ensure the safety of these treatments, scientists need to analyze the characteristics of the manufactured molecules, ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...

RNA breaks destined for repair are inflicted by sequence-specific or structure-specific endoribonucleases during physiological RNA processing (e.g. tRNA splicing; kinetoplast mRNA editing) and under ...

We've shown that non-natural structures can function so much better than naturally ... to take on the complex challenge of ...

Composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, it translates messenger RNA (mRNA ... the ribosome’s atomic structure would be crucial to fully understanding its function. However, this posed ...

These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and decoding. Large Subunit rRNAs ... to our understanding of ribosome function and the development of new antimicrobial strategies. As our understanding of ...

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

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
