NSECURE, a new interdisciplinary project led by Simona Radutoiu at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, has been awarded DKK 15 million by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This collaborative project also involves Associate professor Marianne Glasius (Chemistry & iNANO, Aarhus University), and Professor Rasmus…

The picture shows an RNA polymerase ribozyme thought to be implicated in the origin of life. The ribozyme is shown frozen in ice to symbolize how it was frozen in time for imaging and how it works best under ice-cold conditions. The active site is highlighted by a yellow/red light and the proposed position of the template-product helix is shown in transparent. Image credit: Rune Kidmose.

RNA is thought to have sparked the origin of life by self-copying. Researchers from Aarhus University, Denmark, and MRC LMB Cambridge, England, have revealed the atomic structure of an "RNA copy machine" through cryo-EM. This breakthrough sheds light on a primordial RNA world and fuels advancements in RNA nanotechnology and medicine.
