To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

Pyruvate dictates redox balance and cell size, establishing metabolism as a dominant regulator of cellular fitness, unveiling new strategies to modulate cancer, regeneration, and diabetes.

This study is led by Prof. Dr. Shengying Li (State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology, Shandong University) and Ass. Prof. Dr. Biaobiao Zhang (School of Science, Westlake University). The team ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever.

Plant-based proteins can provide a rich source of amino acids to support muscle recovery after exercise in cold weather.

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...
