The first study, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concerns the intimate signaling between the ribosome and an elongation factor (EF-Tu) that is essential to the successful assembly ...
Studies and Analyses |The molecule, known as Lysyl-tRNA synthetase (or LysRS in brief) is one of the most ancient molecules in the cell, where it has long been recognized for its contribution in the translation of the info...
Life Sciences |A team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute, Katholeike Universiteit Leuven, and the University of Antwerp, Belgium, among other institutions, has created a genetically modified fruit fly...
Life Sciences |"Now we have the opportunity to unravel the molecular mechanism behind Charcot-Marie-Tooth, as well as to start looking for substances with therapeutic value." The breakthrough is th...
Life Sciences |Researchers have determined the structure of a key genetic mechanism at work in bacteria, including some that are deadly to humans, in an important step toward the design of a new class of antibiotics...
Life Sciences |A new insight into the origin of genesJapanese researchers have announced the world's first discovery of genes in jigsaw-like pieces from an archaeon living in hot spring, which gives new...
Life Sciences |They believe the finding could have implications for conditions such as stroke, heart attack and cancer. Sensitivity to low oxygen helps determine how damaging those medical conditions can be. The res...
Health and Medicine |This surprising discovery was made during a project supported by the Austrian Science Fund FWF that focussed on the enzyme RNase P. Contrary to accepted scientific theory, the project team from Vienna...
Life Sciences |Scientists from Cologne and Amsterdam have discovered the mutations in human genetics, which cause the hereditary disease ponto cerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) of the types 2 and 4.“In the case of...
Life Sciences |In the study, researchers report that the dual functions of transfer RNA (reading the genetic blueprint for a protein, and adding a specific amino acid to the protein as it is formed) appear to have o...
Life Sciences |The gene products, known as tRNAs, assemble amino acids for the production of proteins within mitochondria. If the mitochondrial tRNA genes are defective or missing, and proteins are not manufactured,...
Life Sciences |Their study, published in the journal Molecular Cell, reveals a key mechanism in the interplay of molecules that allows cells to build the proteins needed to sustain life.Cells use a variety o...
Life Sciences |Fallow agricultural land and steppe-formation processes are evidently capable of having a much greater effect on global air quality than was previously assumed.This is the conclusion drawn by ...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |The blueprint for the human body is encoded in genes. Gene expression is the process by which those blueprints are converted into proteins that make up the body’s structures and send its signals. When...
Life Sciences |The study, co-written by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés, a professor of crop sciences, and postdoctoral researcher Feng-Jie Sun, appears March 7 in PLoS Computational Biology. Caetano-Anollés is an affiliate...
