Figure 5: Model for transfer RNAs bound to the 70S ribosome, as determined by difference maps in the 70S structure. Ribosomes were first visualized in electron micrographs in 1943 (ref.

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

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 ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...

About me: I earned my PhD in Biology from the National Institute for Basic Biology, Japan, where my dissertation explored the anatomy of serotonergic infrastructure ... Something that has intrigued me ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool in the fight against infectious diseases, according to a new study in Nature co-authored by University of Illinois Chicago researchers.
