With the discovery of the molecular structure of the DNA double helix in 1953, researchers turned to the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) as the next critical puzzle to be solved on the road to ...

To understand the function of an RNA molecule, similar to the better-known DNA and vital for cell metabolism, we need to know its three-dimensional structure. Unfortunately, establishing the shape ...

RNA Structure “ROCKs” at Near-Atomic Resolution. May 4, 2022. This illustration is inspired by the Paleolithic rock painting in the Lascaux cave, signifying the acronym of our method, ROCK.

Structure is different and characteristic for each RNA depending on the sequence of specific units, known as nucleotides, which compose it like the links of a chain.

No large RNA structure database exists that correlates sequence with 3D topology. Successful protein-centric methods like ...

Like double-stranded DNA, single-stranded RNA consists of a chain of so-called nucleotides. In RNA, however, there are also many chemical changes to these nucleotides - known as RNA modifications.

Researchers at the Salk Institute have described for the first time the molecular structure of CRISPR-Cas13d, an enzyme for emerging RNA-editing technology. They were able to visualize the enzyme ...

That’s what makes this structure so interesting.” Robertson and Scott determined the structure of a ribozyme that is not an entirely self-replicating RNA molecule, but it does carry out the ...
