Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) raising a possible link between the cells that ...

The ribosome comprises ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins, following the instructions encoded in our genes to produce proteins. Ribosomes can be found in different cell parts, such as the ...

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...

identifying protein degradation pathways altered explicitly in disease and employing this information to develop small molecule probes with therapeutic potential, and 3) elucidating the fundamental ...

Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's ...

The ribosome is a part of the human cell consisting of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. It is like a factory that builds ...

These genes must help the virus replicate, but, as is the case with the ribosomal protein, it is not always clear how. The researchers are now focused on figuring out the details of how and when ...

Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, a peptide known as ...
