The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However, in ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ...

Like many other RNA-imaging systems, Riboglow is a two-part system made up of an RNA component and a fluorescent component. The sequence of the RNA component, the aptamer, can be fused to the 3' end ...

The N-terminal ATP-dependent ligase domain belongs to the covalent nucleotidyltransferase enzyme superfamily that includes classic RNA/DNA ligases and mRNA capping enzymes. We’ve shown that: (i) each ...

To uncover how neutrophil glycoRNAs mediate attachment to endothelial cells, the researchers split the molecule into its sugar and RNA components. Saturating the same cell culture system with glycans ...

Researchers from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, led by Dr. KN Aruljothi, have published a study in ExRNA ...

The TIGR-associated (Tas) proteins that Zhang's team found share a characteristic RNA-binding component that interacts with an RNA guide that directs it to a specific site in the genome.
