Research on enzymatic RNA synthesis has long been eclipsed by work on DNA—but a new method provides a leap forward for RNA. The growing demand for nucleic acid drugs and vaccines has underscored the ...

RNA drugs are the next frontier of medicine, but manufacturing them requires an expensive and labor-intensive process that limits production and produces metric tons of toxic chemical waste.

While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...

RNA aminoacylation is controlled in biology by a unique family of synthetase enzymes 2. Curiously, these enzymes implement the rules of the genetic code but are themselves synthesized by the ribosome ...

While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...

A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...

An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can ...
