To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...

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 ...

Growth hormone, known for regulating height and physical development, has been found to be deeply involved in the brain's memory formation process. The Institute for Basic Science (IBS) announced on t ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...
