RNA molecules exhibit an astonishing diversity in structure, which is integral to their myriad cellular functions ranging from gene regulation to catalysis. Advances in experimental techniques and ...

The unique aspect of the book RNA structure and function is that it goes beyond the required descriptions of the structure and function of stable RNAs, with chapters on structural requirements of ...

Biologists have deciphered a lncRNA structure and used the information to investigate its cellular protein interactions.

Since RNA splicing can change a protein's function, this work indicates that the structure of RNA can help control its ultimate function, which opens up a new avenue in our understanding of how the ...

Inspired by historical work showing that structure plays a role in the function of other classes of RNA such as transfer RNA, MIT biologists have now deciphered the structure of one type of lncRNA ...

RNAs also have an amazing diversity in structure and function. The importance of RNA was highlighted at the “International Conference of RNA Nanotechnology and Therapeutics.” At the conference ...

Researchers at the Regensburg Center for Biochemistry (RCB) and the Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN) at the ...

To understand what an individual RNA molecule does, its 3D structure needs to be deciphered at the level of its constituent atoms and molecular bonds. Technology used to study the structures of ...

Researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or "ribozyme," that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new RNA molecules. Their results provide ...

To understand the function of an RNA molecule, similar to the better-known DNA and vital for cell metabolism, we need to know its three-dimensional structure. Unfortunately, establishing the shape ...

A study from Würzburg reveals that pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host ...
