Ribosome sequences in the genomes of biomanufacturing strains could be manipulated to increase recombinant protein synthesis yields.

Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works. "It is amazing that we can visualize the atomic details of the ribosome. Because they are tiny—around 20–30 ...

Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in ...

A central tenet of biology has long held that each amino acid added to a peptide chain is specified by an RNA message as it threads its way through the ribosome. But Howard Hughes Medical Institute ...

In developing the new antibiotic, the group focused on how many antibiotics interact with a common cellular target—the ...

Despite huge advances in our understanding of COVID-19 over the past four years, the disease is still very much among us—and ...

It's got a new CEO, hungry VC and University of California science behind it, including work from the husband of Nobel ...

Kostova's research is centered around a key component of the cell – the ribosome – the molecular machine found inside a cell ...

Within the ribosome, the mRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA complexes are held together closely, which facilitates base-pairing. The rRNA catalyzes the attachment of each new amino acid to the growing chain.

Seven members of the Yale faculty who have made important contributions across a range of fields, including neuroscience, ...

The study showed that in the three or four hours leading up to invasion, the cell’s ribosome levels surge. Without them, the researchers found, invasive cells are cut off from the things they need.
