Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...

Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works. "It is amazing that we can visualize the atomic details of the ribosome. Because they are tiny—around 20–30 ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...

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 ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

The formation of protein complexes is a delicate process, with some proteins finding their match at synthesis.

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 ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...
