Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

At this point, translation must be terminated, and the nascent protein must be released from the mRNA and ribosome. Termination of Translation There are three termination codons that are employed ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...

A novel microscopy method has been created by researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute to view the ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

This research thoroughly elucidates the dynamic multi-conformational characteristics of ribosomes during the translation process. "Understanding the entire translation process in depth helps us ...

We showed that non-AUG translation is strikingly resistant to multiple protein synthesis inhibitors, including cycloheximide. We find that these inhibitors slow elongating ribosomes, thereby inducing ...

The mRNA carries this information to the ribosomes in the cell, which then read it and produce proteins. Proteins are crucial for various processes in the body. The transfer of genetic information to ...
