Insights into protein synthesis processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are crucial for advancements in genetics, ...

Researchers at McMaster University, Canada, have identified a critical biological mechanism involving the protein MANF ...

Understanding these fundamental processes holds great potential for developing new antibiotics that target these specific pathways in bacterial protein synthesis, according to the researchers.

Protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells--found in plants, animals, and fungi--involves more than just the straightforward ...

However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

Protein is essential for muscle protein synthesis—the process by which the body repairs ... and maintaining overall bone ...

A newly developed approach can precisely produce four-stranded β-sheets through metal–peptide coordination, report ...

But the process can be slow and sometimes fails to reproduce the protein's precise structure. In cell-free protein synthesis, cells are ripped apart at very high pressure, making it possible to ...

This evolutionary conservation highlights the fundamental role of tRNA in the essential process of protein synthesis. The basic structure and function of tRNAs have remained largely unchanged over ...

rRNA is one of the most highly conserved molecules across all domains of life, reflecting its essential role in protein synthesis. The core structure and catalytic regions of rRNA have remained ...

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 ...
