The widely used antibiotic spectinomycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by blocking translocation of messenger RNA and transfer RNAs on the ribosome. Here, we show that in crystals of the ...

Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery ...

Analysis of proteomic profiles of tumours and cell lines reveals that the abundance of a paralogous protein is often ...

As the researchers here point out, previous studies that took muscle biopsies after a single meal found that an animal-based meal provided more of a stimulus for muscle protein synthesis than a ...

Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly ...

She says that another study found that after eating, older women experienced a smaller increase in muscle protein synthesis (the metabolic process where amino acids are incorporated into new ...

The yeast nuclear endonuclease Rnt1 has a well-characterized role in the maturation of many ncRNA precursors. However, the scope and consequence of its function in mRNA degradation pathways is much ...

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

These can include, but are not limited to, the following: Cashews are a source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They also contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and health-protective ...
