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

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

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

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

Ribosomes getting stuck The team also made an important discovery about ribosome collisions—where one ribosome runs into another due to a tricky RNA segment or differences in speed, for example ...

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 ...

While both cite the fact that RPL39L, the ribosomal protein that makes up Ribosome ST, is found in humans, Webster says work needs to be done to determine whether humans have a similar testes-specific ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.
