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.

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).

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

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 ...

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a lung disease characterized by granulomas-tiny clumps of immune cells that form in response to ...

Discover 9 common post-workout window mistakes beyond protein shakes and learn how to optimize recovery effectively.

Mutations could cause different genes to be switched on or off, and this could create a different or faulty protein to be synthesised. For example, if the protein is an important enzyme ...
