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

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Scientists report a method for stable attachment of peptides to tRNAs, which has allowed them to gain new fundamental insights into ribosome function by determining the atomic-level structures of ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery to multiply and spread, according to a study published in Nature ...

The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...

A fascinating aspect in evolutionary biology is that of convergent evolution — whereby similar structures and functions ...

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 ...

Protein production (translation) is a complex process involving machinery called ribosomes. How do cells counter ribosomal destabilization leading to premature termination of translation? Scientists ...
