Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their own protein production, according to a study published in Cell Reports.

The ribosome comprises ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins, following the instructions encoded in our genes to produce ...

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

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 ...

Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in ...

A new study reveals how a cytoplasmic ribosomal protein uS5 evolved a unique signal to avoid being mistargeted to the mitochondria. Ticks secrete a protein-based saliva that hardens into a cement ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex ...

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 ...

According to the authors, FGF23 may increase ribosomal proteins, helping to maintain the homeostasis of ribosomal components in neurons.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

“By using an mRNA-based vaccine, you can encode an entire protein. That means you can expand the epitope range that your Trm cells are targeting,” Holz remarked. The team developed a novel vaccine ...

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 ...
