Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their own protein production, according to a study published in Cell Reports.

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 ...

Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins. The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ...

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 ...

Cell structure Description Function Cell type ... Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes Location of many chemical reactions All cell types Mitochondria?- ...

Within the ribosome, the mRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA complexes ... Translation Begins After the Assembly of a Complex Structure The translation of mRNA begins with the formation of a complex on ...

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get them moving again. Shelby is an assistant editor for The Scientist. She ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

Moreover, the study identified, for the first time, the fully rotated ribosome bound to the open form of eEF3. The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation ...
