In a laboratory in Ulsan, South Korea, scientists have quietly pulled off what might become one of the most important ...

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which often deadly pathogen infections can be ...

Hajun Kim, Taejoon Kwon, and Joo Hun Kang—from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST has unveiled a novel ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall ... This discovery led to the concept of the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

Thus, RNA molecules play numerous roles in both normal ... the nucleolus is the structure where rRNA processing and ribosomal assembly take place. Molecules called small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and a number of proteins. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs ...

This is because the assembly instructions for the basic building blocks of the mitoribosomes—the ribosomal RNA and 82 ribosomal proteins—are encoded in two different genomes. The former is ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has developed a diagnostic technology capable of identifying infectious pathogens with ...

The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...
