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 ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

These images captured using high-speed atomic force microscopy, represent the snapshots of the protein substrate getting translocated through the SecYEG-SecA complex. The left image indicates the ...

In eukaryotic cells—found in animals, plants, and fungi—protein synthesis involves more than the simple assembly of amino acids in ribosomes. Nearly one-third of all human proteins must be transported ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

The BioPORTER ® protein delivery reagent from AMSBIO has been proven to efficiently transport functionally active proteins directly into living cells, eliminating the traditional DNA transfection, ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Sec61 is a critical component of the protein translocation machinery that mediates the entry of most secreted and transmembrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum. Sec61 has been proposed as a ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

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 ...

Proteins control most of the body's functions, and their malfunction can have severe consequences, such as neurodegenerative diseases or cancer. Therefore, cells have mechanisms in place to control ...
