This image highlights two alternatives for the ribosome to be recruited to an mRNA that is still being synthesized by RNA polymerase (RNAP). RNAP (left, red) can directly deliver the mRNA to the entry ...

Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis are known to have some degree of antivirulence effects. Macrolides bind reversibly to 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome ...

Antibiotic resistance is considered one of the most urgent health threats of our time. Common bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus are evolving defenses against the drugs doctors rely on ...

In a recent article published in the journal Science, researchers unveiled an exciting breakthrough in the ongoing battle against antibiotic resistance. This breakthrough involves the development of a ...

image: In-cell engineering can be a powerful tool for synthesizing functional protein crystals with promising catalytic properties, show researchers at Tokyo Tech. Using genetically modified bacteria ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...
