The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall ... This discovery led to the concept of the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with ...

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Although some RNA molecules are passive copies of DNA, many play crucial, active roles in the cell. For example, some RNA ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Ribosomes are made of proteins and a special type of RNA molecule called ribosomal RNA (rRNA). rRNA molecules are the target of chemical modifications, affecting the ribosome's function.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

SEQuoia RiboDepletion Kit is a stand-alone, post-library depletion kit that eliminates fragments derived from cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (mt rRNA) sequences from ...

The following is a summary of “Diagnostic-avoiding Chlamydia trachomatis variants detected in cervical and endometrial specimens from women during 16S microbiome profiling,” published in the March ...

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...
