The Creative Biogene division IntegrateRNA launched a novel platform that enables post-translational protein modification through the use of non-canonical amino acids and engineered transfer RNA. The ...

For as long as living things have been building proteins based on the code carried by messenger RNA molecules, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have been there. These enzymes, AARSs for short, link transfer ...

A new study reveals that stress during pregnancy can molecularly reprogram newborns' stress response systems, with significant differences between boys and girls.

Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...

Recently, diagnostic tests for Parkinson’s disease have focused on elevated levels of the α-synuclein protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or mitochondrial DNA in the blood, both of which can vary ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate.

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, occurring in about one in 1,050 births in the United States.

Research in mice showed limited intakes of one particular essential amino acid can slow the impacts of aging and even lengthen their lifespan. Scientists now wonder if these findings could help people ...

Supplements of amino acids have gained growing popularity amongst athletes and fitness aficionados aiming to boost their performance and hasten recovery. Amino acids, the pivotal building elements ...
