Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

Tetracycline antibiotics impair T cell function by binding to mitochondrial ribosomes, inhibiting mitochondrial protein synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

The DNA is basically a book of recipes. Each recipe tells the cells in our bodies how to make specific proteins by combining ...

Researchers find mutations causing developmental disabilities in humans have similar effects in yeast, aiding drug testing ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting ...

Researchers have revealed the mechanism underlying GPCR function using a GPS nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique.

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 ...

Researchers describe a fundamental mechanism of antibiotic resistance. What happens in a bacterium that is resistant to the ...

Scientists uncovered how the resistance protein FusB deflects fusidic acid in bacteria, using atomic-level imaging to reveal a crowbar-like resistance mechanism.

In an article published in Nature Communications, researchers from Uppsala Antibiotic Center, Uppsala University and ...
