Scientists visualize assembly line gears in ribosomes, cell's protein factory
Even as research on the ribosome, one of the cell's most basic machines, is recognized with a Nobel Prize, scientists continue to achieve new insights on the way ribosomes work. view more (2009-10-16)
Textbook explanation of mRNA translation may need rethinking
Our understanding of how messenger RNAs are translated into proteins is challenged by new research published today in the Open Access journal Journal of Biology. view more (2005-06-27)
New insights into how the oncogenic protein c-Myc regulates cell growth
New findings by Swedish and German scientists on the regulation of cellular growth are published in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2005-02-20)
Lost in translation
The enzyme machine that translates a cell's DNA code into the proteins of life is nothing if not an editorial perfectionist. view more (2009-01-08)
Biologists probe the machinery of cellular protein factories
Proteins of all sizes and shapes do most of the work in living cells, and the DNA sequences in genes spell out the instructions for making those proteins. view more (2006-09-14)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections. view more (2008-05-01)
Molecular sleuths track evolution through the ribosome
A new study of the ribosome, the cell's protein-building machinery, sheds light on the oldest branches of the evolutionary tree of life and suggests that differences in ribosomal structure between the three main branches of that tree are "molecular fossils" of the early evolution of protein synthesis. view more (2008-08-19)
Capturing cell protein production in action could help fight antibiotic resistance
The fight against antibiotic resistance could be aided by new 3D images of the final steps involved in manufacturing proteins in living cells, scientists reveal today in a letter to Nature. By refining a technique known as cryo-electron microscopy, researchers from Imperial College London and CNRS-Inserm-Strasbourg University have determined how... view more... (2004-02-25)
First demonstration of muscle restoration in an animal model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Using a new type of drug that targets a specific genetic defect, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, along with colleagues at PTC Therapeutics Inc. and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, have for the first time demonstrated restoration of muscle function in a mouse model of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy... view more...

New and sharper X-rays of cell's ribosome could lead to better antibiotics
A new, sharper picture of the nano-machine that translates our genetic program into proteins promises to help researchers explain how some types of antibiotics work and could lead to the design of better ones. view more (2005-11-04)
Fox Chase study sheds light on cancer susceptibility and disease involving bone-marrow failure
Defective protein production can occur in cells even when the genes controlling those proteins are normal. view more (2006-05-12)
Researchers study signaling networks that set up genetic code
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois have identified and visualized the signaling pathways in protein-RNA complexes that help set the genetic code in all organisms. view more (2009-04-15)
Scientists unlock more secrets of HIV and SARS
UK scientists have cracked one of the key biological processes used by viruses such as HIV and SARS when they replicate. view more (2006-05-11)
Ricin's Deadly Action Revealed by Glowing Probes
A new chemical probe can rapidly detect ricin, a deadly poison with no known antidote that is feared to be a potential weapon for terrorists and cannot quickly be identified with currently available tests. view more (2008-08-07)
Zooming in on the protein-conducting channel
Researchers have gained the most detailed view yet of the heart of the translocon, a channel through which newly constructed proteins are inserted into the cell membrane. view more (2005-11-17)
To sleep, perchance to dream: New insight into melatonin production
In the April 1 issue of G&D, a Korean research team led by Dr. Kyong-Tai Kim (Pohang University) describes how melatonin production is coordinated with the body's natural sleep/wake cycles. view more (2007-04-02)
Study shows more genes are controlled by biological clocks
The tick-tock of your biological clock may have just gotten a little louder. Researchers at the University of Georgia report that the number of genes under control of in living things than suspected only a few years ago. view more (2008-08-29)
What are the characteristics of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori?
Clarithromycin is currently one of the antibiotics used for eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, reports of H. pylori resistance to this antibiotic are increasing worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
Genetic switch potential key to new class of antibiotics
Researchers have determined the structure of a key genetic mechanism at work in bacteria, including some that are deadly to humans, in an important step toward the design of a new class of antibiotics. view more (2009-04-20)
RiboTargets joins Partnership for Structural Biology at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
RiboTargets, the structure-based drug discovery company that develops novel cancer and anti-bacterial therapeutics, announced today that it has joined the new Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) established at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Associate membership of the PSB will provide guaranteed access to beamlines at... view more... (2003-01-24)
