During the elongation cycle of protein biosynthesis on the ribosome, elongation factor G (EF-G), a GTPase, facilitates the translocation of the A- and P-site tRNAs to the P and E sites ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

"Ribosomes are very large macromolecular machines that very rapidly and precisely decode mRNA into protein. For a long time, they've been viewed as kind of 'dumb code-reading machines' that don't ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Researchers created replicas of 3D cell structures inside Minecraft and made them available for anyone to use in their own installation of the game.

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 ...
