In other words, eukaryotic transcription and translation are spatially and temporally isolated. In contrast, bacteria, which have a comparatively streamlined genome, have no need to separate the ...

Ribosomes, Transcription, and Translation The genetic information stored in DNA is a living archive of instructions that cells use to accomplish the functions of life.

In Vitro Translation Systems Researchers synthesize recombinant proteins in cell-free extracts to verify the identity of cloned genes, to study protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid, and protein-drug ...

These days, scientists sometimes take a minimalist approach, throwing out the cell and its contaminating components altogether and keeping only what they need for transcription and translation. Such ...
