Intracellular machines called ribosomes use messenger-RNA sequences to synthesize proteins. Investigations using single-molecule imaging and cryo-electron microscopy techniques reveal structural and ...

During protein synthesis, the genetic information stored in DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA then travels to the ribosome, where translation occurs. Here's how anticodons facilitate the ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital report that human ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) 10 times slower than bacterial ribosomes, but do so more accurately. The study “mRNA ...

Scientists have found that human ribosomes decode mRNA slower than bacteria, with implications for drug development. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital revealed that human ribosomes ...

Under normal circumstances, tau protein is part of the brain’s infrastructure, important for stabilizing neurons into their proper shapes. But sometimes tau gets knotted up into tangles and turns ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. Cationic polymers are promising tools for transporting RNA therapeutics or RNA ...

A multi-omics study identifies causal genes and biological subtypes of long COVID, revealing new therapeutic targets for ...

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that’s added to a chain of amino acids ...

Researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully extracted and decoded RNA from an extinct animal. The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was a wolflike marsupial that went extinct after ...
