Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.
Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...
A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...
Ribosomes are found floating in the cell cytosol, cellular organelles such as mitochondria or the protoplasm of bacteria. Using electron microscopy, Kummer and her colleagues Giang Nguyen and ...
Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate ... the Reh1 is positioned in the polypeptide exit tunnel of 80S ribosomes, suggesting that the growing polypeptide chain displaces ...
It provides a serious piece of heft to the hypothesis that specialized ribosomes not only exist but have important functional consequences in cellular processes. —Vassie Ware, Lehigh University ...
Moreover, the study identified, for the first time, the fully rotated ribosome bound to the open form of eEF3. The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation ...
The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face (SB-EM) and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) or Electron Tomography (ET) Electron tomography is TEM based ...
