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 ...

The ribosome consists of two ribonucleoprotein subunits. The small subunit mediates the interactions between the anticodons of the tRNAs and the codons in the mRNA that they are translating to ...

However, nascent polypeptide products bear an inherent risk of elongation abortion. For example, negatively charged sequences with occasional intermittent prolines, termed intrinsic ribosome ...

Expression of many bacterial genes is regulated by cis- and trans-acting elements in their 5’ upstream regions (URs).Cis-acting regulatory elements in URs include upstream ORFs (uORFs), short ORFs ...

Peer ReviewDownload a summary of the editorial decision process including editorial decision letters, reviewer comments and author responses to feedback. Mitochondrial ribosomes are complex molecular ...

Then the cell moves the mRNA from the nucleus to the ribosome, where the mRNA is ‘read’ to make the protein. Sometimes, after the cell copies a recipe to the mRNA, it switches particular ...

What if you could design, prototype, and fabricate with the same effortless precision as Tony Stark in his high-tech lab? Imagine rolling out a sleek, interactive surface that lets you manipulate ...
