Protein biosynthesis—the process whereby cells produce protein molecules, which are essential for life and growth—is a highly ...

Only recently has the ribosome -- one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms -- been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger RNA—a prerequisite for protein synthesis in the cell. The poorly ...

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 ...

While isolating colibactin has been problematic, efforts to characterize its biosynthesis have provided critical information that has led ... Chemical proteomics is a growing area of chemical biology ...

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 ...

Researchers explore how natural compounds in traditional Chinese medicine can modulate cholesterol metabolism to combat ...

A protein, MdfA, crucial for bacterial survival in extreme conditions, has been identified. It facilitates sporulation by instructing cells to degrade metabolic enzymes, leading to dormancy.

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.
