Look inside a brain cell with Huntington's disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a form of nucleic acid, one of the four primary macromolecules required for all known forms of life. As a polymeric molecule, RNA is made up of chains of nucleotides ...

"Our work shows that we can control the construction of three-dimensional arrays made from RNA blocks of different shapes and sizes," said Peixuan Guo, who is a professor of molecular virology in ...

This catalytic ability of amino acids, even in their simplest form and without being incorporated into complex proteins, suggests a clear functional role in amplifying RNA formation.

Mental illness: Special form of RNA in brain Date: February 12, 2020 Source: University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Summary: Circular RNA may play a role in schizophrenia and bipolar ...

The approval of yet another RNA-based vaccine for COVID-19 might not seem momentous. But the endorsement last week by Japanese authorities of a jab against SARS-CoV-2 constructed using a form of ...

For example, RNA stem loops occur when two regions of a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) molecule form a base-paired duplex (the stem) ending in an unpaired loop.

University of Michigan pediatric neurologist Vivian Cheung is launching an international project to identify the full range of RNA building blocks inside human cells.

For scientists attempting to understand how the building blocks of RNA originated on Earth, guanine has proven to be a particular challenge. By adding UV light to a model prebiotic reaction ...
