Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified genes responsible for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration via the assembly of the ribosome, the protein factories in ...

Scientists report a method for stable attachment of peptides to tRNAs, which has allowed them to gain new fundamental insights into ribosome function by determining the atomic-level structures of ...

Inside tiny cellular machines called ribosomes, chains of genetic material called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are matched with the corresponding transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to create sequences of amino acids ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The human body can be thought of as a complex chemical factory with different processes occurring simultaneously at the ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Scientists have developed a tool that can tell them the identity and quantity of every protein produced by a living cell at any given time. With the new high-throughput technique, researchers can ...

This study is led by Prof. Ren Sun (Westlake University) and research fellow Yushen Du (Cancer Institute, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine). Myelotoxicity is the ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery to multiply and spread, according to a study published in Nature ...
