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

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules were initially characterized ... The opposite end of the folded structure, which is the 3' end of the tRNA, binds to its corresponding amino acid at an attachment ...

For example, many types of RNA have been found to be catalytic ... Inside the eukaryotic nucleus, the nucleolus is the structure where rRNA processing and ribosomal assembly take place.

By piecing together high-resolution pictures of molecules at different time points, researchers can create a molecular ...

The ancient, origami-like structure can transform into other ... An ancestral fold reveals the evolutionary link between RNA ...

In DNA, two complementary strands of nucleotides pair up through hydrogen bonds between the bases (A with T and G with C) to form the iconic double helix structure ... Transfer RNA (tRNA) and ...

Ribosomes are complexes that consists of proteins and ribosomal RNA. Chemical tags can modify these ribosomal ... “We think the bacteria's ribosomes might be altering its structure just enough to ...
