Ribosomes getting stuck The team also made an important discovery about ribosome collisions—where one ribosome runs into another due to a tricky RNA segment or differences in speed, for example ...

He ripped the ribosome open, literally. And, it became an important step in the production of antibiotics. In 2000, using a method known as x-ray crystallography, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and ...

This came as a complete surprise, says Barna: Everyone had expected the cause to be a mutation in a gene that orchestrated development, not one involved in ribosome structure. Ribosomes ...

Cancer cells evade immune detection by altering their ribosomes. This adaptation makes them less visible to the immune system, presenting a potential target for enhancing cancer treatment ...

Traditionally viewed as a fixed and homogeneous machinery for protein synthesis, the ribosome is increasingly recognized for its heterogeneity, as indicated by emerging studies highlighting the ...

Human cells contain ribosomes, a complex machine that produces proteins for the rest of the body. Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works. "It is amazing that ...

A ribosome is a complex macromolecular structure in the cell which is involved in the process of translation. This is an essential function of all living cells, allowing for the production of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital report that human ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) 10 times slower than bacterial ribosomes, but do so more accurately. The study “mRNA ...

A new method for studying ribosome function UIC scientists use native chemical ligation to fuse peptides to tRNAs Date: November 1, 2022 Source: University of Illinois Chicago Summary: Scientists ...

Led by Northwestern Engineering’s Michael Jewett, researchers created a new version of an engineered tethered ribosome dubbed Ribo-T, which provides a foundation to propel broad, new efforts in ...
