Another important discovery was an intricate RNA structure near the critical "frameshift site" in the viral genome. This frameshift site is essential for the virus to produce the correct ...

It’s the same when doctors, researchers and epidemiologists fight any virus: The physical structure of its molecules dictate how ... It is a bundle of DNA or RNA bound up in a minuscule core, ...

They are widely used in laboratory research because they are often similar in structure to human viruses ... positioned at the entrance to the virus shell and feeds DNA into the shell, and a novel ...

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 ...

Dengue Virus Genome and Structure The dengue virus genome is a single strand of RNA. It is referred to as positive-sense RNA because it can be directly translated into proteins. The viral genome ...

Enzymes made of RNA are called "ribozymes." A group of researchers led by Professor Claudia Höbartner at the University of Würburg (JMU) has now uncovered the three-dimensional structure of a ...
