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

Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in ...

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

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

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 ...

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.

The team published their findings in Cell. "These findings make us change how we think about ribosomes." Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need ...

The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins ... similarities between all species. Within the ribosome, the mRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA complexes are ...

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 ...

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...
