To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Protein stands as the cornerstone of muscle development, functioning as the primary nutrient responsible for repairing and building muscle tissue after physical activity. When you exercise, ...

If you're aiming to build muscles, your diet should have high-protein foods. They supply essential amino acids that are ...

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

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 ...
