Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins. The ...

Figure 1: The path of the nascent chain through the ribosomal exit tunnel. The peptide exit tunnel is not a passive environment for the passage of nascent polypeptides but provides structural features ...

Historically, the ribosome has been viewed as a constitutive molecular machine with little regulatory capacity in mRNA translation. However, recent findings suggest that ribosome composition and ...
