A Protective Cap for Bacterial RNA
Researchers unravel structure and function of bacterial decapping enzyme
08-Aug-2016 -
For the first time, researchers from Heidelberg University have deciphered the function of the so-called decapping enzyme in bacteria. These molecular helpers remove the protective cap at the start of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules. This decapping destabilises the ribonucleic acid, thus ...
