During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

Ribosomes getting stuck The team also made an important discovery about ribosome collisions—where one ribosome runs into another due to a tricky RNA segment or differences in speed, for example ...

For comparison, they also fabricated a conventional ... the experimentally observed protein structures within the ribosome ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Moreover, the study identified, for the first time, the fully rotated ribosome bound to the open form of eEF3. The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation ...

In the males, core ribosomes were unable to pick up the slack—and as a result, fertility rates—as defined by the number of live births—plummeted when knockout males were paired with wildtype females, ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
