MicroRNA uses a gym to get fit for cuts by Dicer enzyme

Nature, Published online: 22 February 2023; doi:10.1038/d41586-023-00478-3

The enzyme Dicer cleaves a type of RNA called a pre-microRNA to make the mature functional RNA. Structural evidence now sheds light on the catalytic mechanism involved and the role of a newly found RNA sequence termed GYM.
