RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

Like DNA, each RNA strand has the same basic structure, composed of nitrogenous bases covalently bound to a sugar-phosphate backbone (Figure 1). However, unlike DNA, RNA is usually a single ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Simón Poblete, Sandro Bottaro, Giovanni Bussi. A nucleobase-centered coarse-grained representation for structure prediction of RNA motifs. Nucleic Acids Research, 2017; DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkx1269 ...

Yale researchers have developed a new and safe family of RNA-editing tools that utilize an RNA-targeting activity that they ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

Ritort added, “ All the RNA molecules studied share unexpected novel structures at low temperatures. We identified a range of temperatures between +20°C and -50°C. Below +20°C, ribose-water ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

Publishing in the journal Nature, the research team developed a bioinformatics technique to resolve separate structures of RNA rather than viewing them as a 'blur' that averaged multiple structures.
