remodelling. ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of RNA bulges, loops and base flipping
(2008-01-11)
RNA molecules have several important functions in a cell. They carry the genetic information from DNA to protein, act as catalysts and regulate gene expression. Both DNA and RNA consist of nucleotides, DNA molecules are ...
Analysis of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury
