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.

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Ribosomes are the multi-protein and RNA assemblies ... Beare Distinguished Professor of biomedical engineering, and ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the ...
