Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell’s dedicated molecular machines ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

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. The ...

Human cells contain ribosomes, a complex machine that produces proteins for the rest of the body. Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works. "It is amazing that we ...

Ribosomes are the manufacturing machines for proteins, which participate in almost every chemical reaction key to life. To study the chemistry of life, it is essential to know the functions and ...

In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...

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 ...
