RNA viruses are renowned for their elegant structure and finely tuned self‐assembly processes, which are critical both for viral life cycles and for potential applications in nanotechnology and ...

The world is absolutely teeming with viruses. The infectious agents are widely considered the most abundant biological entity on Earth. But a full understanding of viruses and the roles they play in ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

The core breakthroughs of the new generation of RNA virus detection technologies focus primarily on two key objectives: first, enhancing biosensor mutation tolerance-specifically, developing sensors ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...
