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 ...

The discovery could pave the way to starving antibioitc-resistant bacteria without new drugs or harmful chemicals.

Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized ...

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

A recent study from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona reveals that bacteria can adapt their ribosomes when ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
