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 big question, by analogy to the “selfish gene” theory, then became: Might ribosomes “want” to make copies of themselves? If ribosomes wanted to copy themselves, then they would harbour ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The artificial ribosome, called Ribo-T, was created in the laboratories of Alexander Mankin, Ph.D., director of the UIC College of Pharmacy's Center for Biomolecular Sciences, and Northwestern's ...
