A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

So, what is the purpose of the UTR? It turns out that the leader sequence is important because it contains a ribosome-binding site. In bacteria, this site is known as the Shine-Dalgarno box ...

They were able to observe the smooth bending motion of inter-subunit bridge proteins and the spring-like transitions of tRNA between ribosome-binding sites, which had not been previously seen in ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site of ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...
