Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

Escherichia colitopoisomerase III (EcTopo3) is a type IA topoisomerase that binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) during DNA cleavage and strand passage. Here, we report ...

On the left are three forms of the same RNA molecule, which is stabilised into a single form (on the right) by mitoxantrone. Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

A new computational tool developed with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation could greatly speed up determining the 3D structure of RNAs, a critical step in developing new RNA-based drugs ...

A new perspective on gut immunity is highlighting the powerful role of RNA modifications in shaping how the body maintains balance in the digestive system. At the center of this emerging view are ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected danger lurking inside cells: too much RNA can damage the structures responsible for ...

Scientists have identified a human gene with an unusual double life: it appears to perform a biological function in brain cells while retaining the ability to move around the genome. The gene, known ...
