Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have trapped the ribosome, a protein-building molecular machine essential to all life, in a key transitional state that has long eluded ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

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 ...

This article explores limitations of chemical synthesis in high-throughput settings and the technical advantages enzymatic ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...
