Ribozymes for RNA‐Catalyzed RNA Methylation and Labeling

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Ribozymes are powerful tools for site‐specific RNA modification. Their activities range from installing tags and fluorophores to generating natural RNA methylations, making them valuable tools to uncover the many functions that RNA plays in nature.

High-resolution coproecology: Using coprolites to reconstruct the habits and habitats of New Zealand’s extinct upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus) [PDF]

, 2005
Knowledge about the diet and ecology of extinct herbivores has important implications for understanding the evolution of plant defence structures, establishing the influences of herbivory on past plant community structure and composition, and identifying

Thermodynamic and kinetic insights into stop codon recognition by release factor 1. [PDF]

, 2014
Stop codon recognition is a crucial event during translation termination and is performed by class I release factors (RF1 and RF2 in bacterial cells). Recent crystal structures showed that stop codon recognition is achieved mainly through a network of ...

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum

, 2014
The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

High Yield Branched Puromycin Linker Design Enables Efficient cDNA Display and Chemical Modification of Peptides

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
A novel puromycin linker for cDNA display was synthesized via SPAAC reaction. Its functionality was confirmed by recovering intact DNA after selection against EpCAM. The system also enabled the verification of bicyclic peptides during display, demonstrating its utility for constructing and screening structurally complex peptide libraries.
