Bergonzo says she was “delighted and shocked” that AlphaFold 3 accurately predicted a dramatic difference in structure—a flat plane rather than a hairpin fold—when another RNA sequence was ...

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode ... The tRNA molecule has a distinctive folded structure with three hairpin loops that form the shape of a three ...

The researchers further analyzed the structure of the ribosome arrested by the PepNL nascent peptide. Their findings revealed that the PepNL nascent peptide adopts a stable mini-hairpin ...

The structure of the PP7 bacteriophage coat protein ... also regulate expression of another viral protein by binding an RNA hairpin that contains the translation initiation site.

Their discovery of a novel mini hairpin structure in a nascent peptide that induces translation arrest sheds light on peptide-mediated regulatory mechanisms. Credit: Dr. Yuhei Chadani from Okayama ...
