Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to new research. The modified ribosomes have changes specifically in the regions where antibiotics latch on to and ...
Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...
Differences in the ribosomal densities of the two daughters produced by a mother Escherichia coli could explain the asymmetry of aging and growth rate in previously reported such daughter pairs.
