The 5’ cap, which consists of an N 7-methylated guanosine molecule, is covalently added to the first transcribed nucleotide by the mRNA capping enzyme RNGTT 1. The 5’ cap coordinates the downstream ...
The 5′-end capping of nascent pre-mRNA represents the initial step in RNA processing, with evidence demonstrating that guanosine addition and 2′-O-ribose methylation occur in tandem with early steps ...
Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.
A pandemic concentrates the mind wonderfully. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, government, academia, business, and the general public have demonstrated an intense interest in mRNA technologies ...
