Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

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 ...

Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

L-arginine helps protein droplets stay stable and prevents fibril formation linked to Alzheimer’s. This process occurs at droplet surfaces, offering a potential therapeutic target.

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul ...

Sox9, a master regulator of cartilage formation, switches its target genes dynamically during embryonic limb development instead of following a fixed program, as reported by researchers from Science ...

Protein droplets serve important biological functions within cells, but in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, these ...
