Impact of Coding Region Accessibility and Uridine Chemistry on Translation in mRNA-DNA Hybrid Origami
Carmine D’Amico, Mykkänen Miska, Sharon Saarinen…·Mauri A. Kostiainen
This study investigates how folding mRNA into a six-helix bundle affects translation, finding that only the start of the coding sequence needs to be accessible, and that modifications like 5-methoxyuridine and N1-methylpseudouridine influence translation levels.
