Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

Cytoplasm, ribosomes present; there are no mitochondria or chloroplasts. Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule ...

When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal - to ...

Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

DNA, and proteins. Overall, these findings indicate a rather fluid role for SERBP1 in translation regulation, promoting or repressing different translational steps and acting in rRNA ...

The membrane of the cell protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into internal compartments; it is responsible for metabolism, energy production, communication with other cells and much ...

RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is read by ribosomes to generate protein (translation). Biologically active RNAs ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...
