Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

An enzyme type noted in several cancers is the family of adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). These enzymes convert ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot.

At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how.

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after ...

Disrupting the G-loop cycle causes transcriptome dysregulation and genome instability, revealing key role in cell survival and homeostasis.

Using capillary gel electrophoresis, researchers from the National Institute of Health Sciences in Kanagawa, Japan studied the factors that optimize chain-length distribution analysis of messenger RNA ...
