In the new study, Williams and Research Scientist Anton Petrov compared three-dimensional structures of ribosomes from a variety of species of varying biological complexity, including humans ...

The process of translation by ribosomes, which functions as a factory of protein synthesis, may be impeded by ‘ribosome ...

Shen’s images showed that when the RQC latched onto a ribosomal subunit, something nestled into the cavity in the ribosome where amino acids are delivered by transfer RNAs (tRNAs) so that they can be ...

The cell creates mRNA, a copy of DNA, to assemble proteins. The mRNA is then read by a different molecule known as a ribosome ...

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.

Within the ribosome, the mRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA complexes are held together closely, which facilitates base-pairing. The rRNA catalyzes the attachment of each new amino acid to the growing chain.
