Researchers identified a polyphosphate kinase that converts nucleotide precursors into all four RNA nucleotides in one step. Using inexpensive polyphosphate, the enzyme enables low-cost, efficient NTP ...
A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleotide triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), was ...
The origin of the first living molecules on our planet has long been debated. However, recent experiments are revealing new ...
The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...
The fruit fly lacks the tRNA nuclear export receptor Exportin-t, which only exports end-processed tRNAs to the cytoplasm to ensure the completion of the processing steps in the nucleus. The related ...
