The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are responsible for delivering amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complementary to a specific codon on the ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

A new drug delivery system shows promise for treating a rare, aggressive form of cancer affecting pregnant women and new ...

In the 1950s, however, live imaging of RNA synthesis presented a number of challenges. At that time, researchers had developed techniques that allowed them to label RNA with radioactive phosphates ...

This evolutionary conservation highlights the fundamental role of tRNA in the essential process of protein synthesis. The basic structure and function of tRNAs have remained largely unchanged over ...

A new drug delivery system shows promise for treating a rare, aggressive form of cancer affecting pregnant women and new mothers, and it has potential for other cancers as well. Scientists led by ...

Scientists have found a way to combat a rare, aggressive form of cancer affecting pregnant women and to better ensure the drug used for the disease reaches tumor cells without damaging healthy tissue.

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).
