By combining these sequences into a flipbook, the researchers created a 3D movie that allowed them to see the ribosome moving through the elongation process, revealing never-before-seen movements that ...

A virus that infects ocean phytoplankton was found to encode a ribosomal protein, a first for eukaryotic viruses. Researchers ...

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have made an exciting discovery : a virus found in the ocean called ...

This transfer of life's code from DNA to RNA is called transcription. Next, a ribosome uses the message encoded in RNA to build proteins—the molecules performing most of the essential functions ...

The answer to this question lies in a series of complex mechanisms, most of which are associated with the cellular structure known as the ribosome. In order to understand these mechanisms ...

Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have made an exciting discovery: a virus found in the ocean called FloV-SA2 carries the genetic instructions for making part of a ribosome—a crucial ...

The study centers around the ribosome, the protein factories of a cell. For decades, ribosomes were thought to have the same blueprint across the human body. However, researchers discovered a hidd ...

ReAberrant translation initiation at non-AUG start codons is associated with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, identifying how non-AUG translation is regulated differently from ...

These tags are normally located in the regions targeted by the antibiotics. Their absence alters the ribosome's structure, reducing the drugs' effectiveness. While bacterial resistance is typically ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...
