On the other hand, in prokaryotic organisms, ribosomes can attach to mRNA while it is still being transcribed. In this situation, translation begins at the 5' end of the mRNA while the 3' end is ...

How antibiotics interact Date: August 31, 2020 Source: University of Cologne Summary: Understanding bottleneck effects in the translation of bacterial proteins can lead to a more effective ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

siMecA-AGO2 complex inhibits the translation of the mecA gene which encodes the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), a protein at the heart of the drug-resistance phenotype in MRSA. By reducing ...

A Japanese research team led by Osaka University and Riken ran computer simulations of protein production. The model system, based on E. coli, contained the bare minimum for assembling proteins ...
