Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

For decades, we’ve believed the bright redness of sunburn — along with its irritating sting and peeling skin — was the result ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Because rDNA encodes the RNA portions of ribosomes, the nucleolus is vitally important. But its repetitive role also makes it one of the most fragile structures in the cell, and damage can even lead ...

Study reveals UV radiation damages RNA, not DNA, triggering skin inflammation and cell death through ribotoxic stress response.
