As an Assistant Professor in Biotechnology, my work revolves around two main roles: teaching and research. On the teaching side, I guide undergraduate and postgraduate students through subjects like ...

DNA is the darling of the high-tech detective world, whether it’s used to solve murders or track what animals are nearby. But what about it’s less famous relative, RNA? It turns out, this type of ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

Chemists at UCL have shown how two of biology’s most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of life four billion years ...

YBX1 is a member of the Y-box transcription factor family and is a multifunctional RNA/DNA-binding protein characterized by a highly conserved cold shock domain (CSD). YBX1 is localized in both the ...

From viruses to humans, life makes microproteins that have evaded discovery until now. By Carl Zimmer You could be forgiven for assuming that scientists know how many kinds of proteins exist. After ...

Abstract: The classification of DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is essential for understanding molecular interactions and regulatory functions. However, the existing ...

RNA may have played a central role in the origin of life, helping early molecules copy and store information. It’s a type of molecule that also plays a central role in how cells function. Scientists ...

Polyethylenimine (PEI) polymers are used to compact DNA into nanoparticles for delivery into cells. We have shown that PEI-mannose polymers compact DNA into nanoshell-like particles, which can load ...
