In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

They inhibit viral DNA or RNA synthesis by incorporating into the growing nucleic acid chain and preventing further elongation. Anticancer Agents: Nucleotide analogs like 5-fluorouracil and ...

Chemists at UCL have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could ...

When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure—protect the tips of chromosomes from damage.

Storing digital data in RNA? It sounds like science fiction, but it’s not. Researchers have been working on storing data in DNA for several decades, but they are now also turning to synthetic RNA to ...
