The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

Protein biosynthesis—the process whereby cells produce protein molecules, which are essential for life and growth—is a highly complex and strictly regulated affair. An interdisciplinary team ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...

Beyond established roles in collagen biosynthesis, hypoxic signaling and ... histone and nucleic acid demethylation and in signaling protein hydroxylation. The emerging role of these oxygenases ...

Bacteria from the environments with complex ecology are the Nature’s cornucopia for secondary metabolites, most importantly ...

Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy proteins in patients. These are just two of the many applications of a new study. The innovative ...

The Protein and Peptide Science Group (PPSG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science ...

Using computational tools and virtual screening, researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) have ...

Biophysicists have elucidated why unexpected structures can sometimes arise during protein design. Artificially designed proteins are usually based on building blocks that obey strict rules of ...
