It is well known that many biological phenomena require protein synthesis for their manifestation. These include obvious processes such as growth, but also processes within the brain, such as memory.

In this study, a mouse model with a knockout of the mitochondrial tRNA modification enzyme (Mto1) exhibited defective mitochondrial protein synthesis, revealing a previously unknown molecular ...

This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus and ...

Researchers have determined how the pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 inhibits the synthesis of proteins in infected cells and shown that it effectively disarms the body's innate immune system.

To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein -- and potentially target these processes in the design of new antibiotics -- researchers are turning their attention to the unique way ...

NEW ORLEANS — Building muscle, nine essential amino acids (EAA) at a time, is the driving force behind muscle protein synthesis (MPS) – overcoming the normal effects of muscle protein breakdown (MPB) ...
