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.

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA ...

Specifically, the sections of DNA that encode protein production are known ... During splicing, which occurs after transcription (i.e., the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template), the introns ...

Inspired by natural mechanisms found in bacteria, this reporter offers a simple and robust tool for studying ER-related protein synthesis processes, with potential applications in understanding ...

My laboratory studies the regulatory and structural roles of mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Specifically, we investigate how 3′UTRs regulate protein functions in a manner that is independent of protein ...

Within a gene, there are coding regions called exons, which contain the information for protein synthesis, and non-coding regions ... These sequences interact with transcription factors and other ...

The process of ribosome biogenesis involves the transcription of rRNA precursors ... which are characterized by defects in ribosome function and protein synthesis. rRNA is one of the most highly ...
