Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

The maps of electrical brain activity taken during the making of memories are well established, but how those memories are stored and subsequently released remains unclear. In 23 October Proceedings ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

A study on how aging impacts the brain in killifish has found that getting old selectively impairs the production of some key DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. And this change contributes to hallmarks of ...
