The team at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology calls their creation Syn57. It is a synthetic ...

Each codon represents a particular amino acid, and each codon is recognized by a specific tRNA. The tRNA molecule has a distinctive folded structure with three hairpin loops that form the shape of ...

In some cases, a premature stop codon halts protein synthesis. The truncated version of the protein causes a disease. Alltrna’s research focuses on transfer RNA, or tRNA.

But when the plants detect a pathogen, these folded RNA structures are unzipped, enabling plant cells to make defense proteins to fight infection.

Scientists have created a bacteria with a genetic code more streamlined – and more meddled with – than any other life on ...

Methodology: In this study, researchers established an RNA codon expansion (RCE) platform to assign pseudouridine (Ψ)-modified RNA codons (ΨCodons: ΨGA, ΨAA, ΨAG) as novel "blank" codons for ...

Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs).

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small, non-coding RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It acts as an adaptor molecule, translating the genetic code in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the ...

Alltrna Inc. raised $109 million in a series B round to back its work with transfer RNA, with the first targeted indication of stop codon disease: a condition that takes in thousands of rare and ...

We've heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. A bombshell report published by scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular ...
