This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

Just like the mechanical components in cars or computers, the molecules inside a cell can sometimes malfunction. When this happens during DNA replication, the result is an unpredictable change in ...

the race to decode which triplets specified which amino acids began. The simplest way to decipher the code would be to start with an mRNA molecule of known sequence, use it to direct the synthesis ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are involved in the translation of mRNA into proteins. Various non-coding RNAs also play important roles in regulating gene expression and cellular ...

The newly formed strand of mRNA is now ready to leave the nucleus ... Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.

Off Traditional drug discovery has focused on developing small molecules to treat disease. However, interest in therapeutics based on nucleic acids has increased rapidly, driven partly by the ...
