How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA.

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time ...

Speculation about the alleged findings of a study on long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome spread widely among vaccine ...

Computational pipeline SPICE systematically screens and predicts novel protein-protein binding complexes including the previously unrecognized global association and functional cooperation between ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a family of small, positively charged proteins termed H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 (Van Holde ...

The information DNA contains is the instructions that the cell uses to make proteins. Proteins play a big part in determining the characteristics of specialised cells and whole organisms.

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute IPK has investigated ...

This research deepens our understanding of the evolutionary origin of DGRs and may be applicable to future gene-editing techniques. The study was published January 8, 2025 in Nature and was led by ...
