So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

A major focus of research is on the COPII protein machinery responsible for synthesis of ER-derived transport vesicles. We are exploring the mechanisms utilized by COPII to segregate folded protein ...

tRNAs are highly conserved across all domains of life, from bacteria to archaea and eukaryotes. This evolutionary conservation highlights the fundamental role of tRNA in the essential process of ...

A team of AI researchers, biologists and evolutionary specialists at EvolutionaryScale and the Arc Institute, both in the U.S., has designed and built an AI model capable of generating the code to ...
