Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University say they have engineered a tethered ribosome that works nearly as well as the authentic organelle that produces all the ...

Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Scientists report a method for stable attachment of peptides to tRNAs, which has allowed them to gain new fundamental insights into ribosome function by determining the atomic-level structures of ...

Ribosomes are fundamental molecular machines that translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides, ensuring the proper synthesis of proteins essential to cellular function. However, the fidelity of protein ...

Researchers have engineered a tethered ribosome that works nearly as well as the authentic cellular component, or organelle, that produces all the proteins and enzymes within the cell. The engineered ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Researchers have artificially engineered a complete ribosome—the cell-based machine that translates mRNA into proteins—in the laboratory. The ability to engineer the ribosome not only could help ...

Researchers from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have discovered a new function of ribosomes in human cells that may show the protein-making particle's role in destroying healthy mRNAs, the ...

Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University have engineered a tethered ribosome that works nearly as well as the authentic cellular component, or organelle, that ...

Inside tiny cellular machines called ribosomes, chains of genetic material called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are matched with the corresponding transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to create sequences of amino acids ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University have engineered a tethered ribosome that works nearly as well as the authentic cellular component, or ...
