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

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

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

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...
