Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines for protein synthesis, make all proteins in life and do so by piecing together one amino acid building block at a time.

Mimicking living cells: Synthesizing ribosomes Date: June 29, 2013 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Synthetic biology researchers have for the first time synthesized ribosomes from scratch ...

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 ...

Ribosome biogenesis and translation are regulated at multiple levels and are associated with accurate cell growth and proliferation. The loss of key checkpoints during protein synthesis might ...

Poxvirus alters host ribosome function to prioritize viral protein synthesis, inducing structural changes in the 40S subunit and utilizing factors such as RACK1 and eIF3.

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to ...

Learn about the ultrastructure and organelles of animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells. BBC Bitesize Scotland revision for SQA National 5 Biology.

Ribosomes are the cell’s heavyweight molecular machinery that produces proteins. It turned out, however, that in hungry yeast cells, the ribosomes that crowd on the surface of the mitochondria ...

Researchers at The Netherlands Cancer Institute found that cancer cells can modify their ribosomes to enhance their ability to hide from the immune system. By increasing ribosomes with a flexible arm, ...
