How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

Unlocking the potential of mRNA technology is helping revolutionize medicine and biotechnology. Solid-phase in vitro transcription enables scalability and automation, helping make it a valuable tool ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology came of age during COVID-19 with several vaccines and therapeutics coming to market. However, since the height of the pandemic, the flow of new mRNA-based products has ...
