Neomycin is an antibiotic that interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding primarily to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Many vaccines contain trace amounts of neomycin to ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

The ribosome contains hundreds of thousands of atoms and two main subunits. The smaller subunit binds messenger RNA and helps form peptide bonds. The larger subunit catalyzes the bond.

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking w.

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Because they are tiny—around 20–30 nanometers,” says Associate Professor Eva Kummer, who led the study. The ribosome ...

Surprisingly, it does this in the absence of both messenger RNA and the ribosome’s small, message-reading subunit. The ribosome is a large molecular complex of RNA and protein. When eukaryotic ...

This study provides detailed measurements of the movement parameters of the small subunit (SSU ... eEF3) to the ribosome as well as their dissociation from it. For the first time, the researchers ...
