Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Lipoic acid is a pivotal organosulfur cofactor that facilitates critical reactions within multienzyme complexes involved in energy metabolism. Present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, its ...

A research team at Florida State University's Institute of Molecular Biophysics and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry ...

The diagram illustrates the key stages of protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell. It begins with transcription to produce pre-mRNA in the nucleus (1), followed by post-transcriptional modification (2) ...

Researchers identify the crucial protein for controlling the biosynthesis of steroidal glycoalkaloids and saponins in plants of the genus Solanum and for the first time demonstrate the ecological role ...

Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are complex glycolipids that act as membrane anchors of many eukaryotic cell surface proteins. Biosynthesis of GPIs is initiated at the cytosolic face of the ...
