Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

An easy method for efficiently identifying proteins that interact with bioactive molecules has been developed by chemical biologists at RIKEN. This innovation, published in ChemBioChem, could help to ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that regulates the activity of N-myristoyltransferases. This enzyme plays a ...

With a new mapping tool, Princeton engineers have revealed how a factory inside cells builds ribosomes, the machinery ...
