Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

New York-based Nanotronics builds compact, modular semiconductor plants called "Cubefabs."Its goal is to improve chip-making ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

The cell creates mRNA, a copy of DNA, to assemble proteins. The mRNA is then read by a different molecule known as a ribosome ...

This newly found organism doesn’t act like a virus or a cell, and that could change everything we know about biology.

When ribosomes go rogue Unusual variations in the cellular protein factory can skew development, help cancer spread, and more. But ribosome variety may also play biological roles, scientists say.

As Tanenbaum and his team watched translation unfold, they found that at any given time, each socRNA was bound by one to four ribosomes and that these molecular machines exhibited varied translation ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding ...
