Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

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

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

Scientists uncover evidence that all life on Earth traces back to a single ancestor, dating back 4.2 billion years, far ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in ...

Using the AI, a young scientist Mohan Vamsi Nallapareddy and his team developed an AI tool, which can predict protein-production failures at the molecular level and such predictions could ...

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

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have modified a bacterial transport system so that it can efficiently introduce large quantities of unnatural amino acids into cells, disguised as a kind of Trojan horse.
