In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by ...

To characterize the contributions of individual amino acids to the structure or function of a protein, researchers have adopted directed evolution approaches, which use iterated cycles of ...

solving a decades-long mystery by determining the first structure of the human protein PINK1 bound to mitochondria. First discovered more than 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly ...

Ribosomal functions beyond protein synthesis have been uncovered ... with the ribosomal tunnel and rearrange the internal structure, resulting in elongation stalling—known as "translation ...
