Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Gene expression relies on quality control for accurate transmission of genetic information. One mechanism that prevents amino acid ...

Hidden within the genetic code lies the "triplet code," a series of three nucleotides that determine a single amino acid. How did scientists discover and unlock this amino acid code? Once the budding ...
