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 ...

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, ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

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 composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins. The ...

Proteins are absolutely essential for the survival of organisms; they carry out many functions that are critical to life. Something needs to build all of those proteins from their basic components.

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 ...

PHILADELPHIA, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified genes responsible for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration via the assembly ...

Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function. The mechanisms underlying how aging causes proteins to aggregate have not been fully understood. Using models of ...
