RIBOSWITCHES: A CLEVER WAY TO REGULATE MRNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is more than just a carrier of information from the genome to the ribosome. Some mRNAs include additional sequences that regulate their message by sensing molecules in the cell. These “riboswitch” sequences are an interesting and unique form of biosensor and cellular regulator.
DESIGNING DRUGS
Kinase inhibitors are one of the most common types of prescription drugs, but developing them is difficult and expensive. Using a new method, kinase inhibitors can be designed quickly and easily just by knowing the protein sequence!
