Therefore, the transcriptome functions as a kind of catalog of all of the genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published in Nature ...

Differences in the ribosomal densities of the two daughters produced by a mother Escherichia coli could explain the asymmetry of aging and growth rate in previously reported such daughter pairs.

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 ...
