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

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...

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

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...

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

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...

One way scientists hope to learn more about the mysteries of the human body is by analyzing the structure of proteins, of which the vital parts of all living creatures are made. The job is complicated ...

The questions of how humankind came to be, and whether we are alone in the universe, have captured imaginations for millennia. But to answer these questions, scientists must first understand life ...
