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 ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines ... protrude from large ribosomal subunits that become detached from the ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of tRNA-amino acid interactions and the accuracy of codon-anticodon recognition ensure the faithful translation of the genetic code into ..

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor ...

We found that inclusion or exclusion of the 3′UTR of an mRNA that encodes a transcription factor did not change how much of the transcription factor protein was expressed but determined the location ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

During translation, the ribosome moves along ... be coordinately regulated using the basics of the genetic code and protein synthesis in an unanticipated and complex manner. The new regulatory ...

And despite appearances, this film using interpretive dance to explain protein synthesis will teach you ... might make the mechanistic aspects of translation clearer, but the mimsy gyre and ...

Research shows 60% of missense mutations destabilize proteins, linking protein folding to genetic diseases, including ...
