Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Insights into protein synthesis processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are crucial for advancements in genetics, ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Each strand serves two primary purposes: acting as a template during DNA replication and providing instructions for protein synthesis in a process called transcription. Replication and ...

A newly developed approach can precisely produce four-stranded β-sheets through metal–peptide coordination, report ...

The process of ribosome biogenesis involves the transcription of rRNA precursors ... which are characterized by defects in ribosome function and protein synthesis. rRNA is one of the most highly ...
