Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

Led by Northwestern Engineering’s Michael Jewett, researchers created a new version of an engineered tethered ribosome dubbed Ribo-T, which provides a foundation to propel broad, new efforts in ...

Ribosomes are highly complex, macromolecular structures that fulfil the vital role of protein synthesis in all living cells across species, from bacteria to eukaryotes. Ribosomes appear flattened and ...

Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, multi-step process by which they are made. During brain development, neural ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins. The ...

Having solved the first crystal structure of a eukaryotic ribosome, scientists are now getting a new, more detailed look at the machinery that translates the genetic code into proteins in all living ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
