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 site of ...

The ribosome is the molecular machinery at the heart of protein synthesis, a highly regulated activity which is tightly connected with cell activation and proliferation, with many steps controlled by ...

Ribosomes are highly complex, macromolecular structures that fulfil the vital role of protein synthesis in all living cells across species, from bacteria to eukaryotes. Ribosomes appear flattened and ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins. The ...

The molecular machines that cells use to build proteins are backed by a billion years of evolution. In that time, these machines—ribosomes—have become exceptionally good at forging amide bonds between ...

To the Editor: In a recent letter to the Journal (278:967, 1968) Dr. Desmyter wrote: "The cross-resistance of Staph. aureus, Group A streptococci and pneumococci to chemically unrelated antibiotics ...
