A novel microscopy method has been created by researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute to view the ...

RNA molecules differ from DNA molecules in several ... Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass.

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

This effect, which they termed ribosome cooperativity, extended to delays in other difficult mRNA regions, such as translation through repetitive sequences and complicated RNA structures. “This allows ...

This discovery led to the concept of the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with enzymatic properties. The catalytic center of the ribosome, known as the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), is ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells.

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

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 ...

When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA). This process ... the nucleus and travel to the ribosome. After translation, the ...
