Scientists at IISER-Pune have synthesized a new fluorescent ribonucleoside analog, which can slip in as a native nucleoside during transcription and report changes in RNA conformation via changes in fluorescence properties. Results on synthesis and characterization of this uridine analog have bee...

Structure and function of biomolecules are closely linked. Knowledge of structure can help predict and understand function, and information on function can be tremendously useful to repair or modulate the system for a desired output. One approach to understand structure-function relationship is t...
