With the help of computational models, the researchers demonstrated how faster incoming ribosomes “bump into” the stalled-out ribosomes. These collisions occurred rapidly even when there were as few ...

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.

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.
