In living cells, the genetic information in DNA is transcribed to RNA which is then translated to produce a peptide chain of defined sequence 1. In these transcription–translation processes, elaborate ...

Inspired by origami, researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) structure. The folds are controlled ...

Inspired by origami, North Carolina State University researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...
