As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA. My last stop at Arrakis Therapeutics is with a company targeting RNA with small molecules. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs.

In fact, antiviral therapies designed to treat viruses such as hepatitis C (Sofosbuvir/SOVALDI) work by blocking viral polymerase. Back in 2018, researchers tested a broad-spectrum antiviral candidate called remdesivir/VEKLURY, which acts as a nucleotide decoy to get incorporated into the viral RNA genome and stop viral polymerase. .

Credit: Universität Würzburg Archives His key insight hinged upon the fact that living cells are essentially bags of liquid filled with enzymes, or proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Water accounts for 70 percent of a bacterium by mass; the other 30 percent includes everything else: proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, and so on.

The researchers first compared the editing efficiency of different versions of IscB when coupled with 'ωRNA,' which guides the enzyme to the right spot on the DNA. A particular variant, named IscB*-ωRNA*, had the highest editing efficiency across multiple different sites in the genome. Molecular Therapy.
