Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 27 (July 7, 2020), pp. 15609-15619 (11 pages) Ribosome biogenesis is a complex process, and dozens of ...
The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...
Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers show the factors that affect frameshifting during translation of the virus. Disrupting the frameshifting process in the virus could be a potential target ...
A research team lead by MIMS/SciLifeLab research group leader Jonas Barandun, Umeå University, Sweden, uses cryo-electron microscopy to provide near atomic details of the smallest known eukaryotic ...
A genome study to look for variants in a gene considered a fundamental building block for microscopic structures that synthesize proteins took a surprising twist. A genome study undertaken by Johns ...
Ribosomes carry out the cell’s most essential function—translating genetic information into proteins. But even though scientists understand much about how these protein generators are formed, their ...
Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...
In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...
