Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Ribosomes are fundamental molecular machines that translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides, ensuring the proper synthesis of proteins essential to cellular function. However, the fidelity of protein ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have announced that they have captured the high-resolution snapshots of the bacterial ribosome ...

Using AI and other cutting-edge techniques, researchers have captured the first near-continuous "molecular movie" of ribosome formation—revealing, frame by frame, how cells build the protein factories ...

“It’s a really clever paper and there’s a huge body of work that underlies it,” said molecular biologist Harry Noller of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the work. “It ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...
