Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Research by UC Santa Cruz molecular biologist Harry Noller and his collaborators has led to the first direct observations of the mechanism for protein synthesis in living cells. Their new findings on ...

A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular glue, 12-deoxyfusicoccin (12-dFC), that locks 14-3-3 proteins onto the ...

The ribosome serves as the essential molecular machine that translates genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into functional proteins. Comprised of two distinct subunits, the ribosome ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...
