Computer simulations shed light on how unusual tRNAs change the rules of reading the genetic code
UCT Prague researchers contributed to a study showing how subtle changes in tRNA can alter genetic code reading and reveal unusual bacterial tRNAs that can read stop codons.
Jan Heyda: Molecular view of membraneless organelles in collaboration with the USA
How do membraneless organelles form inside cells? Jan Heyda and his team combine molecular simulations and experiments to uncover processes linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
Tracking unspliced RNA: Professor Rumlová studies how retroviruses “hack” cells
Professor Michaela Rumlová explains how retroviruses exploit cellular RNA export pathways and how her international project may uncover vulnerable points in retroviral replication.
I waited two years for a start-up grant and wrote ten versions of my project idea
I waited two years for a start-up grant and wrote ten project versions. Anna Vanluchene explains the Illuminating Flow concept, photocatalysis in flow reactors, and building an independent research team.
JUNIOR STAR Grants at UCT Prague: Two talented women from abroad driving innovation in science
Two outstanding early-career researchers at UCT Prague, Filipa Oliveira and Stella Gonsales, received prestigious GAČR JUNIOR STAR grants for innovative research in materials science and sustainable chemistry.
A scalpel that can diagnose? UCT Prague scientists published a new diagnostic tool concept
UCT Prague researchers introduce “Lab-on-a-Scalpel,” a 3D-printed surgical tool with an electrochemical sensor, offering a glimpse into real-time diagnostics during surgery.
Silane cation bifurcation time measured after photoionization
Attosecond X-ray spectroscopy reveals how silane cations fragment in femtoseconds after ionization, offering new insights into molecular dynamics and semiconductor processes.
Work of Professor Cibulka's team featured on the cover of Chemical Science journal
A Czech-Polish team discovered a stable flavin anion catalyzing visible-light photoreductions. This novel system may simplify synthetic routes to drugs and other valuable compounds.
Counterfeit drugs, the market for illegal hormones, and research with direct real-world impact: a team from UCT Prague’s Forensic Laboratory of Biologically Active Substances helps protect public health
UCT Prague’s team combats illegal hormones and counterfeit drugs in real time. Their forensic research already aids police, customs, and legislation—before the project is even finished.
