Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

Researchers identify the crucial protein for controlling the biosynthesis of steroidal glycoalkaloids and saponins in plants of the genus Solanum and for the first time demonstrate the ecological role ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Lipoic acid is a pivotal organosulfur cofactor that facilitates critical reactions within multienzyme complexes involved in energy metabolism. Present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, its ...

Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are complex glycolipids that act as membrane anchors of many eukaryotic cell surface proteins. Biosynthesis of GPIs is initiated at the cytosolic face of the ...

The diagram illustrates the key stages of protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell. It begins with transcription to produce pre-mRNA in the nucleus (1), followed by post-transcriptional modification (2) ...
