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

Ribosomes are miniature factories of life. A detailed understanding of their mechanical mastery lays the foundations for all manner of applications – from manufacturing vaccines to developing new ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

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 ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
