Nobel winners' mapping of ribosomes helps in development of new antibiotics (CNN)-- Two Americans and an Israeli were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for painstakingly mapping out ...

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 ...

This study sheds new light on the mechanisms that maintain and regulate polyubiquitin chains on stalled ribosomes during ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery to multiply and spread, according to a study published in Nature ...

Proteins are critical to biology, carrying out many functions and giving rise to crucial structures. These essential molecules are generated by vital, ancient cellular structures called ribosomes ...

Three-dimensional images of human small ribosomal subunits offer the most detailed explanation for how the cell's protein-making machines are assembled. All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins ...

Findings enhance our understanding of the importance of ribosome assembly in stem cell regeneration and potential therapeutic strategies for ribosomopathies, which lead to pediatric bone marrow ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

A team of scientists from Scripps Research and Stanford University has recorded in real time a key step in the assembly of ribosomes--the complex and evolutionarily ancient "molecular machines" that ...

In a study published in Science Advances, a team of UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside ...
