The translation of DNA sequences into corresponding biopolymers enables the production, function and evolution of the macromolecules of life. In contrast, methods to generate sequence-defined ...

DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. The genetic information in DNA is used as a basis to create ...

Chemists at New York University have developed a device that allows for the translation of DNA sequences, thereby serving as a factory for assembling the building blocks of new materials. The ...

A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is faster, more accurate and more flexible than existing methods has been developed by scientists. A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is ...

Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. A few, however, are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and are produced by the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...
