A series of structures of the eukaryotic protein-synthesis machinery are imaged at high resolution in defined states of the elongation phase of protein synthesis. Analysis suggests that there are ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...
