It is astounding that the crystal structure of ribose is not included among the over 500,000 structures that have been solved. After all, ribose is a fundamental building block of ribosomes, the ...

Below 5ºC, the new RNA stability is determined by ribose-water interactions until -50ºC, when the RNA unfolds again, leading to the phenomenon of cold denaturation” ...

The team used structural biology techniques to unveil the molecular structures of the signaling molecules on an atomic scale. This finding could one day lead to the development of new therapies ...

By seeing carbon-13 show up in the ribose and other sugars, the researchers knew chemical reactions in the ice and not uninvited interlopers were responsible for the results.
