terminus, the team called the extensions CAT tails. Together, the evidence was convincing. “What all of this was saying was that we were getting a totally unprecedented mechanism for ribosome-mediated ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal ... in cells by ribosomes. This diverse set ...

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

A joint research group of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Kyoto Sangyo University has discovered that a protein, during its synthesis, may destabilize the structure of the ribosome ...

Polypeptide chains are formed where the ribosome, the protein synthesis machinery, resides on a copy of the DNA sequence (messenger RNA). It starts polymerizing amino acids one by one by selecting ...
