Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

What if we could fight climate change using bacteria that live on air? That's the vision behind a newly funded international research project led by ...

Their results, which examine the process in bacteria, are published in the journal Science. "Understanding how the ribosome captures or 'recruits' the mRNA is a prerequisite for everything that ...

The 'ribosome' plays a crucial role in orchestrating ... Interestingly, translation arrest in bacterial cells is often triggered by environmental factors such as the presence/absence of specific ...

Lariocidin can directly attach to a complex that generates proteins in cells, called the ribosome, in a novel way. When lariocidin binds to the bacterial ribosome, protein synthesis is prevented, and ...

Lariocidin was efficient against strains of E. coli, including drug-resistant ones, according to the new study.

The antibiotic inhibits bacterial growth by altering protein synthesis in ribosomes. Identifying such ribosome-targeting antibiotics could lead to the development of effective antibacterial ...

The new molecule, called lariocidin, works by targeting a part of a bacteria’s cell called the ribosome and can disrupt the cell’s functions. “This is a new molecule with a new mode of action. It’s a ...
