Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

Add a description, image, and links to the ribosome-occupancy-plot topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

This unique structure was originally believed to preclude them from protein translation. However, recent discoveries demonstrate that specific internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) and N6 ...

“It was intriguing to me that I could go to grad school and get paid to do that,” he says. METHODS: In biochemist David Giedroc’s lab at Texas A&M University, Cornish studied how ribosomes translate ...

The dysregulation of translation is a hallmark of cancer that enables rapid changes in the cell proteome to shape oncogenic phenotypes that promote tumor survival. The predominant signaling pathways ...

This project has not set up a SECURITY.md file yet.

Regulatory elements from laboratory strains may not yield the desired activities in non-model organisms because the biomolecules that control transcription (RNA polymerases) and translation (ribosomes ...
