Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Moreover, the study identified, for the first time, the fully rotated ribosome bound to the open form of eEF3. The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation ...

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get them moving again. Shelby is an assistant editor for The Scientist. She ...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer and lacks approved specific targeted therapies. One of the major reasons why TNBC is difficult to treat is the high ...

Translational control (TC) is one the crucial steps that dictate gene expression and alter the outcome of physiological process like programmed cell death, metabolism, and proliferation in a ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough microscopy technique to observe ribosomes in action as they translate mRNA into proteins. This method revealed that ribosomes cooperate when encountering ...

Here’s how it works. iOS 18 began rolling out to compatible devices on September 16, 2024, though the software update was actually announced way back at WWDC 2024 on June 10, 2024. Between June ...

City’s Under-18s secured the bragging rights over United after a 4-0 win at Carrington extended our lead at the top of the Under-18s Premier League North table. City accelerated into a bigger lead in ...
