The study reveals lariocidin, a potent ribosome-targeting antibiotic, with unique mechanisms that could combat drug-resistant ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of ... which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during ...

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.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

What is it? As the name suggests, nonribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS) generates polypeptides sans ribosome. The resultant peptides, generally short oligomers of two to perhaps 48 residues, are not ...

Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Doxycycline has bacteriostatic activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
