Here’s how it works. What looks like a jumble of rubber bands and twisty ties is the ribosome, the cellular protein factory. The ribosome is made up of proteins and strands of RNA, a chemical ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered what makes the cell’s tiny protein-making machines run — and have built their own molecular gadget. They created a ribosome, the factory for ...

This mRNA carries the code for Thrombin out of the nucleus and onto the cellular factory floor. Our mRNA drifts until it runs into a ribosome, a protein-making machine. The ribosome clamps down ...

Modifying the bacterial gene that encoded a part of the ribosome with a "very strange and elongated protein shape" allowed crystals that included EF-G to form. Dunham says details from the new ...

Steitz, and Ada E. Yonath for enlightening the science community on the structure and function of the ribosome, the protein factory of all living organisms. Out of the three big molecules for life ...

For a long time, scientists depended on luck to find new proteins. In 1840, for example, Friedrich Ludwig Hünefeld, a German ...

LONDON: Scientists have identified a defect in the ribosome the protein factory of the cell in 20 to 40 per cent of the patients with multiple myeloma a type of leukemia The Tribune, now published ...

Again—how could one missing or unusual protein in the ribosomes cause such a thing? Barna believes that affinity is key. To make a protein, ribosomes don’t receive instructions directly from ...
