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.

Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...

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 ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

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

Our aims To maintain the logical progression of molecular science through chemistry into biochemistry, biology, medicine, plant and food science. Thus, it has an interdisciplinary approach, ...
