Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

Research by UC Santa Cruz molecular biologist Harry Noller and his collaborators has led to the first direct observations of the mechanism for protein synthesis in living cells. Their new findings on ...

In all eukaryotic organisms, genetic material is stored in the cell nucleus in the form of DNA. In order to be used, this DNA is first transcribed into messenger RNA in the cell cytoplasm, then ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown ...

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the ...

A defect in mitochondrial tRNA modification impairs the proper formation of mitochondrial OXPHOS complexes, which results in iron transmigration from mitochondria to cytosol. Excess cytosolic iron ...

New research has uncovered a mechanism that explains why brown adipose tissue is more metabolically active in females.

Scientists from Uppsala University have used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal details of the protein synthesis mechanism in the parasite Giardia intestinalis, which causes diarrhoeal disease. The ...
