Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers ...

2-deoxy-D-ribose molecules link together through phosphate groups to form a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone provides the structural framework for DNA, holding the nitrogenous bases ...

Deoxyribose is a 5-carbon sugar that forms part of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA, the genetic code of living organisms. It can be extracted from DNA through hydrolysis, a process that breaks ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI ... in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, which regulate sugar metabolism. These discoveries shed light on how this ...

More precisely, the dynamics of this pocket may influence whether the IID binds to RNA blunt ends or the RNA backbone. Overall, the authors present important findings to reveal how the intrinsic ...
