Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

Scientists have uncovered key new information towards understanding the crucial first step in protein synthesis, the process by which the genetic code, harbored within DNA and copied into RNA, is ...

Researchers found that tau proteins don’t jump straight into forming Alzheimer’s-associated fibrils—first they assemble into ...

While we may be in the midst of the genomic era, being able to sequence genomes at speeds only rivaled by the molecular machinery used to create the genetic information, understanding the actions of ...

Feb. 4 (UPI) --To study biological molecules like proteins, scientists rely on cryo-electron microscopy. The 3D-imaging technology is ideal for studying proteins that exist in only a single structural ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the mechanism behind a ...

Translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B are key repressors of an abnormal protein translation process linked to neurodegenerative ...
