Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...

Different types of cancer have unique molecular 'fingerprints' which are detectable in early stages of the disease and can be ...

During eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis, nascent ribosomal RNA (rRNA) forms pre-ribosomal particles containing ribosomal proteins and assembly factors. Subsequently, these immature rRNAs are ...

The researchers found that using a drug to inhibit RNA Polymerase 1 (Pol 1) - the enzyme responsible for human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription - triggered a unique stress response that rewires ...

There are three types of RNA involved in the translation process: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Although some RNA molecules are passive copies of DNA, many ...

Ribosomal RNA, or rRNA, is a part of the ribosome that plays a direct role in linking protein building blocks called amino acids. Humans have four kinds of rRNAs. Transfer RNA, ...

Researchers identified significant differences in gut microbial composition between gestational diabetes and healthy pregnancies.

The U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) was discovered over 30 years ago, but its precise function and molecular partners have remained unclear. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature, François ...

The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...
