Persell Middle School eighth graders Sydney Maggio and Abrielle Monaghan came up with a fascinating analogy for their Advanced Track Science project in Lina Scoma’s class. They created an iPhone ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

New research is challenging a long-held assumption in molecular biology, and it may also help explain some confounding disorders. Publishing in Molecular Cell, scientists led by Maria Barna at ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University say they have developed a system that can rapidly create cell-free ribosomes in a test tube, then select the ribosome that can perform a ...
