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.

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

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).

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 ...

Understanding these fundamental processes holds great potential for developing new antibiotics that target these specific pathways in bacterial protein synthesis, according to the researchers.

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 ...

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 ...

Quality control (QC) is vital to the in vitro transcription (IVT) RNA workflow. Because IVT RNA synthesis generates RNA that scientists use in multiple downstream applications, it is critical to start ...

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein ... templates for in vitro transcription (IVT) synthesis of mRNA molecules.

In new research published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, investigators have discovered how red and blue LED light can stimulate color change in mandarin fruit.

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 ...
