Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a novel synthetic method that enhances bacteria's ability to produce higher quantities of specific proteins, including those that would typically ...

Translation elongation factors play a crucial role in the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. These factors assist the ribosome in efficiently adding amino acids to a growing polypeptide ...

The team discovered that certain bacteria also use a protein called EfpL, closely related to EF-P, as an additional tool for protein synthesis. However, unlike EF-P, EfpL adjusts its activity ...

Monitoring nutritional sufficiency is essential in optimizing bacterial survival ... controls the elevated synthesis of the second messenger ppGpp through RelA, a protein intimately associated ...

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.

A new study led by Dr. Rodrigo Maillard at Georgetown University, “Identifying Allosteric Hotspots in Mycobacterium tuberculosis cAMP Receptor Protein through Structural Homology,” published in ...

tRNAs are highly conserved across all domains of life, from bacteria to archaea and eukaryotes. This evolutionary conservation highlights the fundamental role of tRNA in the essential process of ...
