For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have now discovered that this complex also contributes a crucial function in ...

Caltech scientists discovered that many mitochondrial proteins begin entering the organelle while they are still being made, overturning decades of assumptions. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers showed ...

Researchers at UCL have discovered how two essential ingredients of life, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, may have naturally combined about four billion years ago at the dawn of life. Amino ...

This manuscript offers valuable structural and mechanistic insights into the structure and assembly of the Type II internal ribosome entry site (IRES) from encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and the ...

A study on how aging impacts the brain in killifish has found that getting old selectively impairs the production of some key DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. And this change contributes to hallmarks of ...

Inside our cells, ribosomes-the tireless “protein factories” of life-have just shown off a new skill they haven’t used in billions of years. A research team led by Professor Joongoo Lee in the ...

Cells rely on ribosomes to translate genetic messages into proteins, a job that underpins everything from metabolism to growth. Researchers have long believed that when ribosomes encounter an obstacle ...
