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 ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling the development of new antibiotics that target this pathway in bacteria.

The mRNA carries this information to the ribosomes in the cell, which then read it and produce proteins. Proteins are crucial for various processes in the body.

During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional proteins. Occasionally, these molecular decoders pause on the mRNA, either ...

In this episode presented by Eclipsebio, BioSpace's head of insights Lori Ellis discusses mRNA and srRNA with Andy Geall of ...

One of the oldest known molecules, the ribosome, creates proteins based on a copy of the genetic code found in the genome, known as mRNA. Scientists have believed that the ribosome performed the ...

The researchers discovered that the RNAP transcribing the mRNA deploys two different anchors to rope in the ribosome and ensure a solid footing and start of protein synthesis.

In humans, changes in how accurately ribosomes decode mRNA have been linked to aging and disease, representing a potential point of therapeutic intervention.

The functions of the individual complexes have been well understood for many years. Ribosomes, often referred to as the cell’s protein factories, translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into a specific ...
