A LEGO robot , made by undergraduate students at Arizona State University, pours sucrose gradients (a tube with dense liquid at the bottom, and less dense liquid at the top), which are used to separate, say, proteins from RNA by spinning them really fast in centrifuges. How do transcription factors couple up with the correct RNA molecule?

DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids. Across the tree of life, organisms strictly require exactly one of the two chiral forms of their molecular building blocks — amino acids, nucleotides of RNA and DNA. In 2010, researchers at the J.

Even in good years, such as 2010-2011, the vaccine tops out at about 60 percent efficacy. RNA polymerase — the enzyme responsible for replicating influenza’s genetic material — lacks proofreading abilities, meaning that mutations aren’t corrected and can rapidly accumulate. Thomas Francis Jr.
