Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...

Prof. Debra Toiber and her team at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a precise mechanism behind this loss of ...

Undruggable targets typically refer to a class of therapeutic targets that are difficult to target through conventional methods or have not yet been targeted, but are of great clinical significance.

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...

The questions of how humankind came to be, and whether we are alone in the universe, have captured imaginations for millennia. But to answer these questions, scientists must first understand life ...
