Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

Using a novel method, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers map 16 types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; ...

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

Human cells contain ribosomes, a complex machine that produces proteins for the rest of the body. Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works. "It is amazing that we ...

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 ...

Researchers have artificially engineered a complete ribosome—the cell-based machine that translates mRNA into proteins—in the laboratory. The ability to engineer the ribosome not only could help ...

DNA gets all the glory, but genetic material wouldn’t be anywhere without ribosomes — cellular protein factories that build everything from insulin to fingernails. The Royal Swedish Academy of ...

Over the past decade or so, nanotechnology has produced small-molecule machines that can walk, perform basic chemical reactions, or do mechanical tricks, such as spin around or ratchet. Yet the field ...
