LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell.

Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the ...

Ribosomes don’t just make proteins—they can sense when something’s wrong. When they collide, they send out stress signals ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

A single iron-sulfur building block directly determines whether ribosomes—the protein factories of our cells—work smoothly or ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell’s damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

The underlying mechanism of the ribosome, the RNA-protein complex that catalyzes peptide bond formation leading to protein synthesis, is becoming clearer, thanks to recent efforts by several groups.

This week (and possibly a bit beyond), Nobel Intent will be bringing you coverage of a rather exceptional event, the Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting, being held in Germany. It's an annual meeting that ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

Researchers at St. Louis University say they have discovered new information about how antibiotics like azithromycin stop staph infections, and why staph sometimes becomes resistant to drugs. The team ...
