mRNA 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs), which serve as the entry point for the ribosome during translation, can adopt elaborate RNA secondary and tertiary structures that may regulate translation ...

A new study shows that eukaryotic ribosomes can be modified to respond to antibiotics in the same way that prokaryotic ribosomes do. According to researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, the ...

Last year, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry heralded work on DNA transcription, a cornerstone process in molecular biology in which a cell synthesizes a messenger RNA (mRNA) version of genomic DNA. For ...

Animals, plants, and fungi are eukaryotes, and in eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is held in the nucleus, and structures called organelles perform various tasks. One type of organelle is a ...
