Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have trapped the ribosome, a protein-building molecular machine essential to all life, in a key transitional state that has long eluded ...

Microbes from yeast to fungi are now routinely used to produce some ingredients more efficiently than plants or animals. But next-gen ‘cell-free’ processes that deploy some of the biomolecular ...

With the principles of molecular biology very much in the zeitgeist these days, we thought it would be handy to provide some sort of visual aid to help our readers understand the complex molecular ...

It is well known that many biological phenomena require protein synthesis for their manifestation. These include obvious processes such as growth, but also processes within the brain, such as memory.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Analysis of total protein, of specific proteins by gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis, and of protein synthetic activity in vitro ...

To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein -- and potentially target these processes in the design of new antibiotics -- researchers are turning their attention to the unique way ...

Plant Physiology, Vol. 49, No. 4 (Apr., 1972), pp. 596-601 (6 pages) During the transition of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) pith tissue to callus tissue, there were changes in the composition of the ...
