Storing genetic material as DNA or RNA is all well and good for life on Earth, but it would be entirely pointless if we ...

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 ...

This study sheds light on the molecular function of one of the enzymes with RNA helicase activity involved in the synthesis process of the large ribosome subunit. By combining biochemical, genetic and ...

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 ...

Localization of developmentally regulated Ψ sites on the trypanosomatid ribosome. Differentially regulated Ψ sites in T. brucei total rRNA are shown on the 3D structure of the ribosome. Credit: Nature ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Scientists from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center report that ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, which were thought to be similar among people, instead differed significantly based upon a person’s ...

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 ...
