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

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

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

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

It all started in the lab. Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee and Jack Kirsch, were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains ...

A new type of RNA degrading-small molecule with broad potential applications has shown some success against the virus that causes COVID-19.

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

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue University's W. Andy Tao and his associates have developed a new way to study ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently ...
