Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor ...

"We think the bacteria's ribosomes might be altering its structure just enough to prevent an antibiotic from binding effectively," says Anna Delgado-Tejedor, first author of the study and Ph.D ...

Ribosomes undergo changes in conformational state, striking different, well-orchestrated poses that allow strands of RNA to be fed through the structure's two subunits where instructions carried ...

A study by scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has unveiled a potential weakness in ...

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 ...

A virus that infects ocean phytoplankton was found to encode a ribosomal protein, a first for eukaryotic viruses. Researchers ...
