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.

A novel microscopy method has been created by researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute to view the activity of ribosomes in cells.

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

"Ribosomes are very large macromolecular machines that very rapidly and precisely decode mRNA into protein. For a long time, they've been viewed as kind of 'dumb code-reading machines' that don't ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...
