A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

Deep in the protein translation machinery are cogs known as transfer RNAs, or tRNAs. Actually, they may be more than mere cogs, say scientists at the University of Chicago. Like other components of ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

In cap-dependent translation initiation, the open reading frame (ORF) of mRNA is established by the placement of the AUG start codon and initiator tRNA in the ribosomal peptidyl (P) site. Internal ...

The antibiotic blasticidin S (BlaS) is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in bacteria and eukaryotes. We have determined a 3.4-Å crystal structure of BlaS bound to a 70S-tRNA ribosome complex and ...

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is crucial for protein synthesis, constituting the adaptor molecule between messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein. Despite its critical function, we still lack key knowledge into the ...

During protein synthesis, the genetic information stored in DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA then travels to the ribosome, where translation occurs. Here's how anticodons facilitate the ...
