This work emphasizes the importance of studying ribosomes within their native cellular environments to gain a more accurate understanding of their functional states during protein synthesis.

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.

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

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

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

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

Watching ribosomes in action "Sometimes ... can gain deeper insights into cellular processes and the role of protein synthesis in health and disease.

The large subunit rRNA, in particular, is responsible for the peptidyl transferase reaction, which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis. This discovery ...

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

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

Researchers developed a microscopy technique to observe ribosomes translating mRNA in real time. They found that ribosomes ...

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 ...
