Protein synthesis refers to the process by which cells construct proteins. It's a fundamental cellular mechanism for all ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

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.

In eukaryotes (but not in prokaryotes), some of the ribosomes ... the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of protein synthesis — the stitching together of amino acids to make a protein ...

Large Subunit rRNAs: The large subunit in prokaryotes contains the 23S and 5S rRNAs ... which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis. This discovery led ...

In eukaryotic cells, the membrane that surrounds the nucleus — commonly called the nuclear envelope — partitions this DNA from the cell's protein synthesis machinery, which is located in the ...

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).

An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...

When eukaryotic ribosomes are isolated from cell extracts ... “That was very strange because we thought all protein synthesis had ended. The small subunit had gone away; the mRNA had gone away. We ...
