RNA scaffolds are synthetic noncoding RNA molecules with engineered 3D folding harnessed to spatially organize proteins in vivo. Here we provide a protocol to design, express and characterize RNA ...

If you want to build a tall house, you need to use scaffolding. Professor Ye Zhang and colleagues at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) are applying this ...

Look closely at the massive scaffolding being erected around 26 Court St. in downtown Boston and you can glimpse a piece of the construction industry’s automated future. For centuries, even millennia, ...

A protein-scaffolding tool has been developed that paves the way for the assembly of diverse proteins with defined structures and functions. Large protein assemblies have a wealth of potential uses, ...

There’s something magical about building in VR. Imagine being able to assemble weightless car engines, arrange dynamic virtual workspaces, or create imaginary castles with infinite bricks. Arranging ...

When plant cells divide, they assemble molecular building blocks into new cell walls made of carbohydrate and protein, but scientists know almost nothing about how this process occurs. Researchers ...

Mesoporous silica rods spontaneously assemble to form a porous 3-D scaffold. Courtesy of Wyss Institute at Harvard University Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL--The DNA molecule--nature's premier data storage material--may hold the key for the information technology industry as it faces demands for more compact data processing and ...
