To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...
