These rRNAs play a role in peptide bond formation and translocation. The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome ...

The scientists don’t know the CAT tails' function yet, but they have some ideas. They have evidence that suggests that CAT tails may trigger a stress response in the cell. A CAT tail might tag an ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as a blueprint for proteins. When mRNA is no longer needed, it must be degraded. Director Elena ...

Researchers hope to plan clinical trials of 5-fluorouracil with drugs that would enhance its RNA-damaging effects and kill ...

Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely ... Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes Location of many chemical reactions All cell types ...

Scientists study the functions of microglia by transcriptomics ... RiboTag uses a special way of labeling ribosomes of microglia and subsequently enriching tagged ribosomes, which allows ...

A new study conducted by SISSA's Laboratory of Cerebral Cortex Development and recently published in BMC Biology has led to a ...

Authors should provide at the time of submission a short paragraph explaining why their work justifies urgent publication as a Communication. Ideally, a Full paper in Food & Function should follow ...

Animals depend upon plants as an energy source. Chemicals in food are broken down in respiration to create energy stores that can be used by the cell. Animal cells have a basic structure. Below ...

These tiny structures themselves consist of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins and are essential for the survival and normal functioning of the cell, as the proteins they produce are required for ...
