To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

Now, researchers from Kyushu University have revealed that the smallest known protein-based tRNA-processing enzyme, called ...

Transfer RNA may be the oldest type of RNA molecule in the cell, and its fundamental role in gene translation has not changed much as life evolved. Secondary functions have arisen in the course of ...

Queuosine is not built into proteins or DNA. Instead, it slots into transfer RNA (tRNA), the molecular interpreters that read genetic codes. By modifying the wobble position of tRNAs for histidine, ...

Alltrna’s research focuses on transfer RNA, or tRNA. These molecules are responsible for transporting amino acids to the cell’s protein-making machinery.

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...

To achieve this, the researchers designed a small ribozyme-based RNA molecule (also called catalytic RNA) that attached a unique barcode to 16S rRNA upon gene transfer. This cat-RNA was introduced ...

Researchers accepted that it performed some important functions—messenger RNA, for instance, carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm, while transfer RNA transports ...

For instance, only a few years after Francis Crick, James Watson and several of their colleagues deduced the structure of DNA, researchers found that some RNA, called transfer RNA, grabs onto ...

Alltrna Inc. raised $109 million in a series B round to back its work with transfer RNA, with the first targeted indication of stop codon disease: a condition that takes in thousands of rare and ...
