An easy method for efficiently identifying proteins that interact with bioactive molecules has been developed by chemical biologists at RIKEN. This innovation, published in ChemBioChem, could help to ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, multi-step process by which they are made.

TAU’s vice president for research and development said that they worked on the project for two-and-a-half years and were very ...

The ribosome serves as the essential molecular machine that translates genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into functional proteins. Comprised of two distinct subunits, the ...

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo will hold a news conference to address federal recommendations regarding COVID-19 vaccines for children on Thursday.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...

All living organisms encode the amino acid sequences of proteins as nucleotide sequences (genetic information) in their ...

Once you inhale the virus, it travels into your lungs and lands on the cells lining your airways. These cells are like tiny fortified castles, each surrounded by a flexible but protective barrier ...

Professor Hirohide Saito and his research team have developed a new microRNA-responsive hybrid mRNA switch, enabling precise, ...

Screening mRNA delivery and expression The general approach involves designing protein barcodes, which are genetically encoded short amino acid sequences that can be added to protein-coding DNA.

What if mRNA vaccines could be made more powerful and less irritating? Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have found a way to do just that—by tweaking a key molecule in the vaccine’s ...
