Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

At this point, translation must be terminated, and the nascent protein must be released from the mRNA and ribosome. Termination of Translation There are three termination codons that are employed ...

The process of translation by ribosomes, which functions as a factory of protein synthesis, may be impeded by ‘ribosome ...

During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional proteins. Occasionally, these molecular decoders pause on the mRNA, either ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal cellular functions. The ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

University of Michigan To demonstrate how the many parts of the complex cooperate to deliver newly generated mRNAs to the ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a novel microscopy technique to observe ...

The catalytic center of the ribosome, known as the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), is composed entirely of rRNA. The PTC is highly conserved across all domains of life, highlighting the fundamental ...
