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 ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation ...

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 ...

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 researchers identified that G4s, four-stranded RNA structures that form in response to cellular stress, function as a "scaffold" that facilitates α-synuclein aggregation. Elevated calcium ...
