Structure: DNA consists of two strands, arranged in a double helix. These strands are made up of subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar molecule and a ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Credit: Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/ What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions ...

RNA is a copy of DNA, but it is normally single-stranded. Another difference is that RNA does not contain the base thymine (T). In RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T).

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

Google DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold AI system to not only predict the structure of proteins, but also to model how proteins interact with other cell structures, including DNA, RNA, and ...

RNA has a structure very similar to that of DNA. The key difference in RNA structure is that the ribose sugar in RNA possesses a hydroxyl (-OH) group that is absent in DNA.

Cytosine is one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine (A), guanine (G), and thymine (T) or uracil (U). It is a pyrimidine derivative, meaning it has a single-ring ...

With $35M in new funding, Atomic AI aims to do for RNA what AlphaFold did for proteins, and find entirely new treatments in the process.

Ben Hall and Sol Speigelman carry out DNA-RNA hybridization in viral infected bacterial system. 15 Rich and colleagues publish on two RNA double helix fragments solving the structure at atomic ...

By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome. It’s not merely a passive ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A ...
