In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

Inspired by historical work showing that structure plays a role in the function ... decided to investigate which regions of the 600-nucleotide RNA molecule are crucial to its function.

In conclusion, in-cell SHAPE-MaP enables RNA structure to be examined at single-nucleotide resolution in a native cellular environment, including for RNAs of low to moderate abundance. In-cell ...

Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) describe a way to use AI to reliably predict the structure of certain RNA molecules from their nucleotide sequence in the journal PLOS Computational ...

"It's relatively easy to discover the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule ... having to compare different possible predictions of RNA structure, the scoring function provides a measure of ...

Determining the local flexibility as a function of nucleotide position provides important information that enables the sequence and structure of an RNA to be related to its biological function.

structure and interactions and thereby its fate. More than 170 distinct RNA modifications have been described so far. The most abundant is the methylation on the N6-position of the RNA-nucleotide ...

Before new discoveries of RNA nucleotide modifications were made, the focus of epigenetics studies was DNA and protein modifications. However, the discovery of what scientists are calling an “extra ...

Pseudouridine is an isomer of uracil, meaning it has the same chemical formula but a different structure. It is often referred to as the "fifth nucleotide" due to its abundance in RNA. Pseudouridine ...
