A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...
Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...
These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...
Premature termination of transcription influences ribosomal RNA output and RNA polymerase I drug sensitivity, revealing a mechanism of resistance to transcription-targeting chemotherapy.
The ribosome is one of the most iconic machines in molecular biology—a complex structure that reads a recipe written in RNA to assemble amino acid building blocks into new proteins. Ting Zhu of ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen emerged in Wuhan at the end of 2019 to trigger the latest and most devastating coronavirus (CoV) pandemic of the last hundred ...
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai LifeSciences, have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces ...
