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.

If your genes could set an alarm clock, EZH1 might be the one ringing the bell. A new study has revealed how this ...

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.

However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

The Steps of Protein Synthesis In prokaryotes like bacteria, transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, as there is no nuclear membrane to separate these processes.

A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene ...

Darst's interest in the mysterious protein reignited. His team set about using cryo-EM to examine how RNAP remains clamped to DNA after transcription termination, and how RapA interacts with it.

My laboratory studies the regulatory and structural roles of mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Specifically, we investigate how 3′UTRs regulate protein functions in a manner that is independent of protein ...

In cancer-associated cachexia, elevated TNF-α and IL-6 exacerbate muscle and fat loss by regulating multiple metabolic signaling pathways, which could be ameliorated by Z526's suppression of NF-κB ...

The process of ribosome biogenesis involves the transcription of rRNA precursors ... which are characterized by defects in ribosome function and protein synthesis. rRNA is one of the most highly ...
