Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate ... the potential mechanism of selective inhibition. Eukaryotic ribosome assembly involves multiple AAA+ ATPase hexamer mediated ...

A team of researchers at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in the U.K., has re-examined an old ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

It provides a serious piece of heft to the hypothesis that specialized ribosomes not only exist but have important functional consequences in cellular processes. —Vassie Ware, Lehigh University ...

Ribosomes turn upside-down in hungry cells ... Medicine explored it in greater detail using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography. The results are published in ...

Mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis requires the assistance ... Padi and Godek et al. solve cryo-electron microscopy structures of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A):B55 bound to p107 and Eya3, which ...
