Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have trapped the ribosome, a protein-building molecular machine essential to all life, in a key transitional state that has long eluded ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...
