Translation entails ribosomes reading a gene’s messenger RNA transcript to generate a protein. Image credit: ART-ur/ Shutterstock. Textbook descriptions of translation—the fundamental process of ...

RNA (ribonucleic acid ... tRNA modifications are vital for their function in protein synthesis, one of the most central processes in all living cells. Here the authors show how KEOPS, a multi ...

The genetic information encoded in DNA provides information for protein synthesis. This information is first transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which then serves as a template for translation ...

The nucleotide sequence of the 5′ end of bacteriophage Qβ RNA has been determined by ... commonly associated with the initiation of protein synthesis (AUG and GUG) was found before position ...

University of Würzburg researchers identified a fast mRNA degradation mechanism driven by m6A modifications. This process ...

RNA-targeting compounds or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a potent means for controlling viral infections. An essential prerequisite to their design depends on identifying conserved and ...

A biologist at The University of Texas at Arlington is leading a $1.8 million federally funded project to study the molecular ...

The global market for mRNA vaccines and therapeutics is expanding due to the rising incidence of chronic illnesses ...

In everyday life, when things turn out the opposite of what you expect, it's usually a cause for frustration. In science, ...

Our study of local molecular changes in ap α′/β′ neurons after training suggests that ribosomal RNA transcription and mRNA translation might work in concert during the consolidation of sleep-dependent ...

In the Protein Engineering and Evolution Unit's latest publication in Nucleic Acids Research, the team presents an engineered RNA methyltransferase, which can be used to study the role of RNA ...

Inspired by natural mechanisms found in bacteria, this reporter offers a simple and robust tool for studying ER-related protein synthesis processes, with potential applications in understanding ...
