This important study by Bi and colleagues employed a clever genetics screen to uncover the role of the GidB rRNA methylase in translation fidelity, under certain conditions, in Mycobacterium smegmatis ...

During the elongation step, the polypeptide chain is synthesized through ribosome-mediated incorporation of amino acids via aminoacyl-tRNA codon recognition ... can induce their translational ...

Almost all living things share the same genetic code, and the origin of this code has long been a topic of scientific debate.

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...

Proteins are built by mixing and matching amino acids, but researchers want to create new functions ... Badran’s team investigated how codon location and usage affect quadruplet decoding with a ...

And it seems the answer lies not in how we’ve translated the code, but in the order in which its building blocks – the amino ...

This useful study highlights the largely redundant role of the decapping activators Edc3 and Scd6 in orchestrating post-transcriptional programs to modulate metabolic responses to nutrients in yeast.

The 2024-25 Premier League table promises to be tight from top to bottom as some almighty scraps will take place over the next nine months. [ MORE: Premier League 2024-25 schedule, how to watch live] ...

Citric acid is a weak acid that is found naturally in all citrus fruits. Unlike strong acids, weak acids ionize only partially when in solution. If you’ve ever sunk your teeth into a lemon or ...
