Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa have discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

Alternatively, and likely dominant in bacteria, RNAP (green) can interact with ribosomal protein bS1 (right, cyan). bS1 binds and guides the mRNA (right, white and glowing) from RNAP into the ...

She was using western blotting to study large ribosomal proteins, employing a protocol with two overnight steps. “Finally, I had that blot, and went to image it, but there was nothing there.

identifying protein degradation pathways altered explicitly in disease and employing this information to develop small molecule probes with therapeutic potential, and 3) elucidating the fundamental ...

Julie Thomy, lead author of the study and postdoctoral researcher in the Daniel K. Inouye Center for Microbial Oceanography: ...

Changes can be identified with near-perfect precision by compact, portable scanners within a matter of hours. Different types ...

At one time or another, most of us have played with a flipbook, using our thumbs to rapidly flip a series of pictures to ...

particularly efficiently when ribosomal protein bS1 was present, which helps the mRNA unfold in preparation for translation inside the ribosome. The cryo-EM structures of Webster and Weixlbaumer ...

They were able to observe the smooth bending motion of inter-subunit bridge proteins and the spring-like transitions of tRNA between ribosome-binding sites, which had not been previously seen in ...
