Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

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.

Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) are specialized RNA sequences that allow for the initiation of protein synthesis in a manner that does not rely on the traditional 5' cap structure of ...

A novel microscopy method has been created by researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute to view the ...

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

Moreover, the study identified, for the first time, the fully rotated ribosome bound to the open form of eEF3. The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation ...

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 ...
