For example, in addition to their structural role, the coat proteins of single-stranded RNA phages such as MS2 and PP7 also regulate expression of another viral protein by binding an RNA hairpin ...

However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and ...

Some RNA molecules, called ribozymes, possess catalytic activity and can catalyze chemical reactions. For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA component catalyzes the formation of ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and stability of myelin ...

However, how the protein AcrVIB1 inhibits Cas13b remained ... as a guide to identify and bind to complementary RNA sequences, ...

Overview of RNA repair – There is an emerging appreciation of the existence of “RNA repair” pathways that rely on RNA ligases to maintain or manipulate RNA structure in response to purposeful RNA ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare but very serious disease of the nervous system. A cure is not yet ...

The large subunit rRNA, in particular, is responsible for the peptidyl transferase reaction, which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis. This discovery ...

Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) have described a new mechanism ...

For natural cells, the so-called central dogma of molecular biology describes how protein synthesis ... cell structure, for ...
