The ribosome serves as the essential molecular machine that translates genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into functional proteins. Comprised of two distinct subunits, the ribosome ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

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, ...

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 ...

Ribosomes arranged in pairs (100S) have been related with nutritional stress response and are believed to represent a "hibernation state." Several proteins have been identified that are associated ...

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. Scientists have now learned more about ribosomes in nature, and their function. This ...

Papers presented at a conference held on Aug. 6-11, 1989 in East Glacier Park, Montana. https://siris-libraries.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=liball&source ...

In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...

Most people carry the fungus Candida albicans on their bodies, without this causing many problems. However, a systemic infection with this fungus is dangerous and difficult to treat. Few ...

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 ...
