Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...

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

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...

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 ...

Ribosomes getting stuck The team also made an important discovery about ribosome collisions—where one ribosome runs into another due to a tricky RNA segment or differences in speed, for example ...

"We think the bacteria's ribosomes might be altering its structure just enough to prevent an antibiotic from binding effectively," says Anna Delgado-Tejedor, first author of the study and Ph.D ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.
