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.
Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site of ...
An international team of scientists have used advanced microscopy to image how ribosomes recruit to mRNA. Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins ...
