Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

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 ...

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

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have trapped the ribosome, a protein-building molecular machine essential to all life, in a key transitional state that has long eluded ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

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

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

In eukaryotic cells—found in animals, plants, and fungi—protein synthesis involves more than the simple assembly of amino acids in ribosomes. Nearly one-third of all human proteins must be transported ...
