What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers soon discovered that it can form double-stranded structures, which are ...

For years, researchers described DNA and RNA as linear chains of four building blocks—the nucleotides A, G, C, and T for DNA; and A, G, C, and U for RNA. But these information molecules are much more ...

Pseudouridine is an isomer of uracil, meaning it has the same chemical formula but a different structure. It is often referred to as the "fifth nucleotide" due to its abundance in RNA. Pseudouridine ...

The integration of high-throughput sequencing technologies, bioinformatics tools, and structural biology approaches will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between RNA ...

For this, they designed an artificial ribozyme, R3C ligase, to investigate how individual RNA units come together to form a functional structure ... in response to other nucleotide triphosphates ...
