Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...

The more we know about RNA folding and complexities, the better we can design treatments." In this work, the researchers created computational and technological tools that enabled them to capture ...

Scientists discovered chemical reactions that place amino acids on tRNAs and extend peptide chains without enzymes, a key ...

Researchers make alternatives to DNA and RNADNA and RNA molecules are the basis for all life on Earth, but they don’t necessarily have to be the basis for all life everywhere, scientists have ...

New research suggests that the sugar ribose -- the "R" in RNA -- is probably found in comets and asteroids that zip through the solar system and may be more abundant throughout the universe than ...

A new method called R2D2 – which stands for "reconstructing RNA dynamics from data" and is completely unrelated to the beepy droid from Star Wars – has generated some amazing videos that allow ...

RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It's critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study published in Nature Communications, University of ...
