Ribosomes were first visualized in electron ... as illustrated by the ram mutations in the 30S subunit and the proteins at the factor binding center and subunit interface. In short, the RNAs ...

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 ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...
