A varied diet with high-quality protein sources is essential, and while active kids may need more protein, supplementation is usually unnecessary if energy intake matches expenditure. Growing Kids ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

A deficiency in mitochondrial protein synthesis, due to the knockout of the MTO1 gene in hematopoietic cells, disrupts intracellular iron distribution, leading to fetal anemia.

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).
