Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

An international team of researchers led by Konstanz biologists has identified a molecular mechanism that regulates the activity of ...

With a new mapping tool, Princeton engineers have revealed how a factory inside cells builds ribosomes, the machinery ...

The researchers wanted to find a way to watch this ribosome-assembly process play out. Everything begins with RNA produced in the nucleolus’s innermost layer. That RNA assembles into components of ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Recent developments in protein-protein interactions (PPI) give hope for patients with advanced or untreatable diseases.

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

Analysis - In November 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter peered through a small hole into the sealed tomb of King Tutankhamun ...

In two-line hybrid rice, the critical sterility-inducing temperature (CSIT) acts as a key threshold for thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines. However, reports on regulatory mechanisms ...
