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

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

The diagram illustrates the key stages of protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell. It begins with transcription to produce pre-mRNA in the nucleus (1), followed by post-transcriptional modification (2) ...

Cellulose - an integral component of plant cell walls - is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear. Now, a ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Cellulose — an integral component of plant cell walls — is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has ...

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

A team has identified a protein that modifies the cellular machinery responsible for producing cellulose, which could inform the design of more stable, cellulose-enriched materials for biofuels and ...
