How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA.

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein provides the cell with a potential control point for self-regulating its functions by adjusting the amount and type of ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

A pilot study from North Carolina State University shows that nanoscopic 3D imaging of ancient bone ... are likely candidates ...

With this strategy, he discovered over 400 bacterial proteins that contain a signature 3D histone structure called a histone fold ... its lifecycle and thus would need to carefully time DNA ...

The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...
