Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have trapped the ribosome, a protein-building molecular machine essential to all life, in a key transitional state that has long eluded ...

Translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B are key repressors of an abnormal protein translation process linked to neurodegenerative ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein. Actually, ...

Reduced protein synthesis might be an indicator for Parkinson's disease "It is significant in this study that we found no evidence of decreased protein synthesis in individuals with multiple system ...

This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus and ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase is required for the DNA cleavage step of Ig class switch recombination (CSR). However, its molecular mechanism is controversial. RNA-editing hypothesis postulates ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Exposure of organisms to high temperatures characteristically induces the rapid expression of a set of heat-shock genes. We hypothesized that ...
