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

These differences are exploited by antibiotics, which are designed to inhibit the prokaryotic ribosomes of infectious bacteria without affecting eukaryotic ribosomes, thereby not interfering with ...

Until recently, scientists had few clues as to how the bacterial protection worked. Then, in 2013, a research group led by Steve Perlman of the University of Victoria found that Spiroplasma in one ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking w.

Clindamycin and related drugs kill bacteria by inhibiting the ability of bacterial ribosomes to synthesize proteins, but don’t affect ribosomes in eukaryotic cells, including those of humans. Yet both ...

We focus on how temperature affects the cytoplasmic state in bacteria and what the consequences to cellular ... tracking to record the movement of individual molecules, such as ribosome, inside ...
