Looking at life today, it is difficult to imagine how complex biological processes and structures could have developed from ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Ribosome: are known as the “protein factories” of cells. Here, the mRNA sequence is decoded in the process of translation into an amino acid sequence, the basic building blocks of proteins, and ...

It acts as a ribosome gatekeeper to halt translation and inhibit host cell protein synthesis. This shutdown of key parts of the innate immune system may facilitate efficient viral replication and ...

The ribosome is a macromolecular machine that undergoes global conformational rearrangements during translation, that involve coupled movements of ribosomal subunits, tRNAs, and the L1 stalk. However, ...

The ribosome is made mostly of RNA, ... "They keep turning up more and more often in clinical samples of some nasty bacterial pathogens in different parts of the world," Conn says.

DURHAM, N.C. -- What makes some cancer cells stay put while others break loose and spread through the body? A new study of C. elegans worms may hold some clues. Researchers at Duke University have put ...

The new study focused on a mirror “reflecting” parts of the ribosome. Previous studies showed that it’s possible to replicate mirror-imaged DNA and even translate it into the messenger mirror RNA.

Once all the parts are ready, Zhu hopes they can be coaxed to self-assemble into a complete mirror ribosome. For now, mirror T7 itself could be a handy tool for those working on mirror biomolecules.

Optimization of gene expression levels is an essential part of the organism design process. Fine control of this process can be achieved by engineering transcription and translation control elements, ...
