Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published in Nature ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

A central tenet of biology has long held that each amino acid added to a peptide chain is specified by an RNA message as it threads its way through the ribosome. But Howard Hughes Medical Institute ...

This came as a complete surprise, says Barna: Everyone had expected the cause to be a mutation in a gene that orchestrated development, not one involved in ribosome structure. Ribosomes ...

Ribosomes are more diverse and dynamic than previously understood, affecting immune response. Understanding ribosome modifications may lead to new strategies to enhance cancer immunotherapy ...

This image shows Georgia Tech Professor Loren Williams (left) and Research Scientist Anton Petrov in front of a large tree that symbolizes the growth and accretion of the ribosome over time.

Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in ...

ReAberrant translation initiation at non-AUG start codons is associated with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, identifying how non-AUG translation is regulated differently from ...
