Several recently reported structures reveal the details of ribosome architecture and provide new insights into the mechanism of protein synthesis. Although high quality diffracting crystals of the ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation ...

About me: I earned my PhD in Biology from the National Institute for Basic Biology, Japan, where my dissertation explored the anatomy of serotonergic infrastructure, including receptors and ...
