Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

In a recent article published in the journal Science, researchers unveiled an exciting breakthrough in the ongoing battle against antibiotic resistance. This breakthrough involves the development of a ...

This image highlights two alternatives for the ribosome to be recruited to an mRNA that is still being synthesized by RNA polymerase (RNAP). RNAP (left, red) can directly deliver the mRNA to the entry ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...
