Because of this flexibility, the 30 to 40 tRNAs present in a cell can "read" all 61 codons in mRNA. The opposite end of the folded structure, which is the 3' end of the tRNA, binds to its ...

The popularity of mRNA-based therapeutics has surged over the past few years. To ensure the safety of these treatments, scientists need to analyze the characteristics of the manufactured molecules, ...

Yi Ren's most recent paper, published in eLife, describes the structure of a protein complex involved in mRNA export that sheds light on the underlying molecular mechanism of mRNA export and the ...

However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated ... Generally, those RNA molecules that do not take the form of mRNA are referred to as noncoding, because they ...

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

RNA breaks destined for repair are inflicted by sequence-specific or structure-specific endoribonucleases during physiological RNA processing (e.g. tRNA splicing; kinetoplast mRNA editing) and under ...

In a significant leap forward in the realm of regenerative medicine, a team at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation has introduced a pioneering approach to mRNA therapy using ...

These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and decoding. Large Subunit rRNAs ... The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ...
