Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments ...

The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...

Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...

Dr. Fang-Lin Sun (Tsinghua University) and colleagues report on a heretofore unidentified link between ribosomal proteins and chromatin – providing additional insight into the long-standing mystery as ...

"A lot of biochemical and genetic data had been generated," says Venki Ramakrishnan, group leader, structural studies division, Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. "But it ...

We previously showed that treatment of Escherichia coli ribosomes with antibodies specific for proteins L7 and L12 inhibits both EF-G· GDP binding and ribosome-dependent GTP hydrolysis (Highland et al ...
