This process is controlled by a large protein-RNA complex called the spliceosome. MIT biologists have now discovered a new layer of regulation that helps to determine which sites on the messenger RNA ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

A molecule so small it could fit on a Post-it note of genetic code has just pulled off something scientists have chased for ...

EM, researchers showed that water mediates catalysis and important protein interactions for RNA polymerase II function in ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...
