Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...

mRNA is the most variable class of RNA ... genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place.

To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mystery ...

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

In the future, the researchers plan to investigate in more detail how m6A-marked mRNA is degraded, for example, how ribosomes recognize the modification, and how targeted mRNA degradation by m6A ...

We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out shade and put on sunscreen and a hat.

Following the lead of previous work on mRNA-based vaccines, therapies for spinal cord injuries and more, the method relies upon mineral-coated microparticles to deliver mRNA that encodes for ...

DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA carries the genetic code to the ribosome, the cell’s protein-making machinery. Ribosomes read the mRNA sequence, and as the ribosome moves ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

There exist many other protein screening platforms that allow for studying protein–protein interactions (Figure 2). Here, we briefly summarize the principles of some widely used screening ...
