A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Ribosomes are fundamental molecular machines that translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides, ensuring the proper synthesis of proteins essential to cellular function. However, the fidelity of protein ...

This study is led by Prof. Ren Sun (Westlake University) and research fellow Yushen Du (Cancer Institute, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine). Myelotoxicity is the ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. Scientists have now learned more about ribosomes in nature, and their function. This ...

New research shows at atomic detail how antibiotics affect the process of protein production inside bacteria. The study uses cryo-electron tomography to observe the dynamics of the translation ...

Every living cell relies on proteins in order to function and the process of protein synthesis – translation – is critical for survival. Bacteria are no exception, with molecular machines involved in ...
