Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...

Angiogenin is a well-characterized enzyme that has a variety of important roles; it can trigger the growth of new blood vessels, is involved in cell survival, migration, and proliferation, and has ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site of ...

Slower ribosomes stall during translation and collide with faster ones, triggering selective degradation of their small subunits. This “ribosome competition” mechanism ensures that only efficient ...
