Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

Research by UC Santa Cruz molecular biologist Harry Noller and his collaborators has led to the first direct observations of the mechanism for protein synthesis in living cells. Their new findings on ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the development of a new method for simultaneously synthesizing all transfer RNA (tRNA) ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start.

The FDA approval of denileukin diftitox (Lymphir) marked a significant shift in this paradigm. As a first-in-class immunotoxin, it employs a dual-action mechanism: directly targeting interleukin-2 (IL ...
