Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery ...

Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

The same ribosome may disassemble and become a free ribosome when it begins translating its next protein. Free ribosomes synthesize proteins mainly for use within the cell. In eukaryotes ...

Once within the cell, ribosomes are classed as either free or membrane-bound. Free ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm and produce proteins for use within the cell. They can move around the ...

“You can bypass the evolutionary pressures that otherwise the ribosome would be under in a living organism,” Jewett says. To make cell-free systems with engineered ribosomes, Jewett removes ...

Ribosomes are the molecular factories that manufacture ... activity in resting conditions and possibly decrease levels of free radicals, dangerous by-products of mitochondrial metabolism.

Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to boost their ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital revealed that human ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) 10 times slower than bacterial ribosomes, but do so more accurately. The study, published ...

This came as a complete surprise, says Barna: Everyone had expected the cause to be a mutation in a gene that orchestrated development, not one involved in ribosome structure. Ribosomes ...
