Abstract:
TLRs play central roles in host defense. In this issue of Immunity, Zhang et al. (2016) generate structures of TLR7 bound to multiple ligands and provide insight into the mechanism of TLR7 ligand recognition that highlights the differences in the features of the TLR subfamily.

Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA) involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three...
RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
