RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a essential biological molecule that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is a polymeric molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a ribose sugar ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

In 2022 the organizers of CASP turned their attention towards a different, yet still challenging, class of biomolecules: RNA. As with proteins, determining RNA structure typically requires costly ...

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 ...

Well, you actually can. NOVA’s RNA Lab is an extension of a game called Eterna, which gets players to help scientists understand an important family of biomolecules called RNAs. Here’s how it ...

The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...
