Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have ...
They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...
Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth – a key process in the origin of life. Scientists ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." For 400 million years, a leading hypothesis claims, Earth was an “RNA World,” meaning that life must’ve ...
RNA is thought to have sparked the origin of life by self-copying. Researchers have now revealed the atomic structure of an 'RNA copy machine' through cryo-EM. This breakthrough sheds light on a ...
The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...
