However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first ... inhibit transcription of an mRNA molecule that has a sequence complementary to its RNA component. Inside the eukaryotic ...

The researchers then used cryo-EM to visualize the 3D structure of the RNA polymerase in this active, RNA-bound state at ...

This is an RNA molecule generated in the lab that the team first presented in 2023. The researchers from the Institute of Organic Chemistry were able to determine the 3D structure of SAMURI using ...

The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically 73-90 nucleotides long. The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of ...

RNA epigenetic modifications have uncovered as not only an intermediary structure between DNA and protein or an effector molecule, but it plays crucial roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
