Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

One is a square or rectangle, and the other is a circle. A codon table is crucial for decoding an mRNA sequence into a chain ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Leftover drops in vials of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine allowed a group of researchers from Stanford University to determine the sequence of the mRNA for SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein that is used in the ...

mRNA can be used as a therapeutic tool to replace missing or defective proteins in diseases caused by genetic mutations. By delivering mRNA encoding the correct protein sequence into cells, it is ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Craig S. Smith, Eye on AI host and former NYT writer, covers AI. Coronaviruses owe their name to the crown-like protein projections on ...

The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of tRNA-amino acid interactions and the accuracy of codon-anticodon recognition ensure the faithful translation of the genetic code into ...
