Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins necessary for life. These multi-component molecular machines build complex proteins by stitching building blocks together according to instructions ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

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 ...

Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function. The mechanisms underlying how aging causes proteins to aggregate have not been fully understood. Using models of ...

Berkeley -- A new, sharper picture of the nano-machine that translates our genetic program into proteins promises to help researchers explain how some types of antibiotics work and could lead to the ...

New research shows that cells monitor for ribosome collisions to determine the severity of the problem and how best to respond when things start to go awry. Ribosomes are the machines in the cell that ...

As a molecular machine found in the cells of all organisms, the ribosome is responsible for making new proteins. For a number of reasons, this process can fail, leaving the ribosome stalled on the ...
