Lots of it. Many ribosomes can be working on a single strand of mRNA at once. Protein synthesis isn't a slow process, either. A protein chain 400 amino acids long can be assembled in 20 seconds!

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

By targeting specific RNA markers that are highly expressed in diseased cells, such as those found in liver cancer, the mRNA can instruct protein synthesis only in target cells. This precision ...

This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

The inherent instability of mRNA allows cells to rapidly adjust protein levels in response to changing conditions by controlling the synthesis and degradation of specific mRNA molecules. mRNA vaccines ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are responsible for delivering ...

The anti-melanogenesis effect of ligustroside derived from Ligustrum japonicum and its underlying mechanisms are explored.
