Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...

Thermo-sensitive genic male sterility 5 (tms5) is a widely used thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) line for two-line ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Furthermore, we will review multi-disciplinary and comprehensive engineering approaches directed at improving yields of microbial production of natural products and proteins and generating novel ...

From civil and mechanical to electrical and computer engineering, this particular field of study offers many specialisations. This allows you to choose an area that aligns with your interests and ...

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.

"Ribosomes are very large macromolecular machines that very rapidly and precisely decode mRNA into protein. For a long time, they've been viewed as kind of 'dumb code-reading machines' that don't ...

Synthetic biology is pushing the boundaries of ribosome research by engineering synthetic ribosomes with novel capabilities. These efforts may enable the creation of artificial life forms and the ...
