Now, for the first time, double stranded RNA helices and the α-helices of ribosomal proteins are readily identified leading to exact placement of a substantial number of ribosomal proteins and ...

The "power plants" of living cells, the mitochondria, probably evolved through endosymbiosis: A bacterium migrated into a primordial cell and eventually developed into an organelle that provides the ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

The Ribosome Quality Control Complex (RQC) recognizes and destroys incomplete proteins that protrude from large ribosomal subunits that become detached from the rest of the ribosome when protein ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in ...

Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in ...

identifying protein degradation pathways altered explicitly in disease and employing this information to develop small molecule probes with therapeutic potential, and 3) elucidating the fundamental ...

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have made an exciting discovery : a virus found in the ocean called ...
