The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

mRNA stability can be rapidly modulated to alter the expression of specific genes thereby providing flexibility in effecting changes in patterns of protein synthesis. An evolutionarily conserved ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

Neurons balance energy efficiency by regulating protein synthesis based on molecular properties like stability and size.

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 inherent instability of mRNA allows cells to rapidly adjust protein levels in response to changing conditions by controlling the synthesis and degradation of specific mRNA molecules. mRNA vaccines ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

Researchers developed a microscopy technique to observe ribosomes translating mRNA in real time. They found that ribosomes ...
