For instance, neuronal cell bodies contain a nucleus holding the genetic code, while different organelles outside the nucleus, such as mitochondria, ribosomes, and microtubules, all perform ...

Lariocidin may be the first of its kind to block one of the most essential components in bacterial survival: the ribosome. “Our old drugs are becoming less and less effective as bacteria become more ...

To tie up a ribosome, an antibiotic first needs to get ... which takes on a more intricate three-dimensional shape, looping its tail to resemble a pretzel. This even more stable structure might ...

This, they write in the study, may mean that the proteins prepared by these ribosomes obtain different shapes than those synthesized by the ribosomes of other cells. “Our study provides the first ...

These proteins insert into the inner membrane co-translationally. Therefore, mitochondrial ribosomes engage with the OXA1L-insertase and membrane-associated proteins, which support membrane insertion ...
