After transcription, tRNA precursors undergo a multi-step maturation process, including modifications of the nucleotides, 5′ end and 3′ end processing and folding into the L-shaped tertiary structure ...

In cells transfer RNA (tRNA) translates genetic information from the encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and in-depth theoretical calculations ...

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...

The tRNA3 Leu gene from yeast contains an intervening sequence of 32 nucleotides not present in mature tRNA. This sequence is transcribed and subsequently removed during the maturation of the RNA. To ...
