Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

At a basic level, proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. These chains often create helices, pleats, and folds to form a three-dimensional structure. Multiple proteins can also bond ...

Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

This technique and the findings, published in Cell, provide insights into how proteins are made and offer other researchers a tool to better study mRNA translation. Researchers from the Tanenbaum ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into “complexes” to fulfill their functions. A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Weizmann Institute, in collaboration with ...

In addition, the way in which a cell processes its RNA transcripts and newly made proteins also greatly influences protein levels. How Is Gene Expression Regulated? The amounts and types of mRNA ...

An error in protein conformation can lead to disease. What are the genetic and molecular causes for incorrectly formed proteins? molecules. In 1917 the German chemist ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

“And that’s what this year’s laureates have done.” Proteins are the building blocks of life. They are made up of strings of amino acid molecules which fold themselves into complex three-dimensional ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.
