Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Bacterial ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, yet they can become stalled during translation when encountering aberrant mRNAs or premature termination signals. To preserve the efficiency of ...

Ribosomes are crucial to cells, because they translate messenger RNA molecules into the proteins that are necessary for cells to function. A new study has determined that bacteria can alter their ...

A new antibiotic created by Harvard researchers overcomes antimicrobial resistance mechanisms that have rendered many modern drugs ineffective and are driving a global public health crisis. Bacteria ...
