How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation ... Translation Begins After the Assembly of a Complex Structure The translation of mRNA begins with the formation ...

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 ...

Advancements in mRNA vaccine technology are reshaping medicine, addressing challenges and expanding applications from ...

Exporting the mRNA from inside the nucleus to the site of protein translation ... The new CBC-ALYREF structure revealed molecular insights into the ALYREF-mediated recruitment of mRNA export ...

To add multiple polyA tails to the mRNA backbone and create the branched structure, the scientists used click chemistry ... indicating that the branched mRNA was not being degraded or translated into ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought.

University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects ... but to develop these molecules into testable drugs, they need to ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...

“We can trick the cell into extending the lifespan of mRNA and boosting its protein output.” The goal and the hope, he says, is that “even subtle increases in protein production” will help people with ...

To answer it, he and his colleagues first used various staining techniques to establish that both RNA-binding proteins and mRNA are colocalized with mitochondria ... throughout the cytoplasm, forming ...

DOPE-Cx can form a special structure called a "cubic phase," which helps overcome a major challenge in mRNA delivery by LNPs: endosomal escape. LNPs are taken into the cell in the form of ...
