Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

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 ...

EPFL researchers have discovered how cells help keep their protein levels steady even when their ability to make new proteins ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Growth hormone, known for regulating height and physical development, has been found to be deeply involved in the brain's memory formation process. The Institute for Basic Science (IBS) announced on t ...
