However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

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 ...

RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA vaccines and ...

The main types of rRNA include ... the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with enzymatic properties. The catalytic center of the ribosome, known as the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), is ...

A distinction is made between different types of RNA with different functions ... to find a precise starting point for studying the role of modifications in fungal biology. In the study, the ...

Researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute ...
