Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

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 ...

Consider your hands. They are essentially identical in every respect bar one: They are mirror images of each other. Many of ...

"At this stage, we can tell for example that a specific protein called ... "Errors in ribosome assembly severely reduce the capacity of our cells to make proteins. These are for example proteins ...

Human metapneumovirus is spreading in China, and the world is closely monitoring the situation in the country. People are wondering about the effectiveness of antibiotics against HMPV ...

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and NTU Singapore have discovered that RNA damage, not DNA damage, is the real trigger for the acute effec ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

Neomycin is an antibiotic that interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding primarily to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Many vaccines contain trace amounts of neomycin to ...

is a protein that helps cells efficiently make other proteins, playing a key role in two translation stages: initiation and elongation (helping ribosomes move along the mRNA and add amino acids to ...
