Scientists have obtained a near-atomic resolution image of the three-dimensional shape of the hammerhead ribozyme. The results show a ribozyme structure in which the atoms are uniquely arranged and ...
RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...
Researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or "ribozyme," that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new RNA molecules. Their results provide insight ...
RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

In new research published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists applied a high throughput methodology to study the ribozyme in an innovative way. While work in this area has typically used ...
Santa Cruz, CA — Which came first, nucleic acids or proteins? This question is molecular biology’s version of the “chicken-or-the-egg” riddle. Genes made of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) contain the ...
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...
