High-resolution structures of nascent polypeptide chains in complex with the ribosome — the cell’s protein-synthesis machinery — reveal how the ribosome guides protein folding. Ribosomal attachment ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

The ribosome is one of the most iconic machines in molecular biology—a complex structure that reads a recipe written in RNA to assemble amino acid building blocks into new proteins. Ting Zhu of ...

Proteins are absolutely essential for the survival of organisms; they carry out many functions that are critical to life. Something needs to build all of those proteins from their basic components.

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in ...

Led by Northwestern Engineering’s Michael Jewett, researchers created a new version of an engineered tethered ribosome dubbed Ribo-T, which provides a foundation to propel broad, new efforts in ...

Berkeley - Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have for the first time captured elusive nanoscale movements of ribosomes at work, shedding light on how these cellular factories take ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making ...

Potential mechanisms by which ribosomal protein gene (RPG) downregulation could affect synaptic inputs. Globally, RPG downregulation may result in decreased ribosome production, which may reduce ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...
