Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Zhang Xinzheng at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, utilized cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) along with their ... eEF3) to the ribosome as well as their dissociation ...

During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional proteins. Occasionally, these molecular decoders pause on the mRNA, either ...

which threads the mRNA into the ribosome's mRNA entry channel from the opposite side of bS1, Webster and Weixlbaumer's cryo-EM structures identified an alternate route of mRNA delivery to the ...

Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins. The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Shah and colleagues take advantage of the presence of maternal and somatic ribosomes in zebrafish and confirm their differential expression during development. The authors convincingly show that ...
