Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Introduction Definition of Peptides Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2 to ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) -- commonly known as bad cholesterol -- have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor to heart disease. But these microscopic troublemakers have hidden ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

A study by the University of Geneva and collaborators found that protein assembly often starts during protein synthesis (or ...

Researchers have optimized DNA-nanoparticle motors to achieve speeds of 30 nm/s, matching natural motor proteins. By enhancing RNA enzyme activity and hybridization rates, the team reduced pauses and ...

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

A new study led by Dr. Rodrigo Maillard at Georgetown University, “Identifying Allosteric Hotspots in Mycobacterium tuberculosis cAMP Receptor Protein through Structural Homology,” published in ...

Girolline is one of a number of compounds with biological ... It is the first small molecule that has been found to directly modulate the function of an important protein synthesis factor.
