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 ...

The process of 'translation' in protein synthesis involves formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids that are attached to two distinct transfer RNAs (tRNAs). For long, scientists have been ...

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the ...

To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein -- and potentially target these processes in the design of new antibiotics -- researchers are turning their attention to the unique way ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown ...

Researchers at UCL and MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences have demonstrated that reducing naturally occurring errors in protein synthesis improves both health and lifespan in different model ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Self-cleavage as built-in quality control Susann Sika, Translation: Matthew Rockey Stabsstelle Universitätskommunikation / ...

Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in the brains of killifish, according to a new study. The findings advance ...

The genetic information stored in DNA is “decoded” to form proteins via the process of translation. This involves the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids bound to transfer RNA (tRNA) ...
