The RNA world hypothesis gains support from the in vitro evolution of a bifunctional ribozyme that can recognize an activated glutaminyl ester and subsequently aminoacylate a tRNA molecule.

The involvement of noncoding mRNAs in many regulatory processes, their abundance, and their diversity of functions has led to the hypothesis that an "RNA world" may have preceded the evolution of ...

But a team of researchers led by Kishore Guda, associate professor at the Digestive Health Research Institute at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, found a special class of ribonucleic acid ...

Nobel Laureate and University of Chicago professor Jack Szostak delivered two lectures on the origin of life to an audience of professors, graduate, and undergraduate students the Monday and Tuesday ...

“AlphaFold is now routinely used in many biology labs. NuFold would be an RNA version of AlphaFold. So, in a way, we’re extending the breakthrough of AlphaFold into the world of RNA, which has been ...

NuFold would be an RNA version of AlphaFold. So, in a way, we're extending the breakthrough of AlphaFold into the world of RNA, which has been much more challenging to tackle. By modeling RNA's 3D ...
