Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...
Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...
A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...
While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...
A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...
