An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental biological process that underpins how all organisms use their genetic information.

Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines ... Peter Shen, a postdoctoral researcher in Frost’s lab, isolated RQCs from yeast cells and used cryo-electron microscopy to develop three-dimensional ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...
