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

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 ...

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 ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages to reprogramme bacterial cells following infection, a finding that ...
