Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Scientists report a method for stable attachment of peptides to tRNAs, which has allowed them to gain new fundamental insights into ribosome function by determining the atomic-level structures of ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They 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 ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

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 ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have discovered a new function of ribosomes in human cells that may show the protein-making particle's role in destroying healthy mRNAs, the ...

In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...

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 ...

Inside tiny cellular machines called ribosomes, chains of genetic material called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are matched with the corresponding transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to create sequences of amino acids ...
