A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...

Cell structure Description Function Cell type ... Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes Location of many chemical reactions All cell types Mitochondria?- ...

Ribosomes undergo changes in conformational state, striking different, well-orchestrated poses that allow strands of RNA to be fed through the structure's two subunits where instructions carried ...

"We think the bacteria's ribosomes might be altering its structure just enough to prevent an antibiotic from binding effectively," says Anna Delgado-Tejedor, first author of the study and Ph.D ...

Ribosomes A tiny structure where protein synthesis occurs. Cytoplasm Function A jelly-like material that contains dissolved nutrients and salts and structures called organelles. It is where many ...
