Example of an RNA thermometer in the gene lpxP, identified in E. coli and conserved across various bacterial species. On the left, the OFF conformation. The Ribosome Binding Site (RBS, green) is ...
When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...
Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...
