How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA.

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

Translation therefore interferes with transcription ... of RNA polymerase can lead to dissolution of the RNA polymerase/DNA complex (Gusarov & Nudler, 1999; Yarnell & Roberts, 1999) and thus ...

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 ...

During protein synthesis, or translation, genetic information transcribed in the cell's mRNA directs the stringing together of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. As the translation ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...
