英ケンブリッジ大学などに所属する研究者らがScience誌に発表した論文「A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Several highly toxic mushroom species commonly grow in residential lawns and wooded backyards, often resembling edible ...

Researchers identified how the poxvirus protein VITF-3 forms a molecular ring that clamps onto DNA with viral RNA polymerase, bending it by 90 degrees to initiate gene copying.

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a unique viral mechanism: A molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

Chikungunya virus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus for which no antiviral therapy has been approved. Nucleotide ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...
