Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...
Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...
The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...
Recent research has focused on understanding the structural and functional diversity of IRESs, their interaction with ribosomes, and the implications for viral translation and infection.
We showed that non-AUG translation is strikingly resistant to multiple protein synthesis inhibitors, including cycloheximide. We find that these inhibitors slow elongating ribosomes, thereby inducing ...
Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into “complexes” to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...
The formation of protein complexes is a delicate process, with some proteins finding their match at synthesis.
