Scientists at the University of Copenhagen say they have located a previously unknown function for histones, which allows for an improved understanding of how cells protect and repair DNA damages.

The upper right portion illustrates viral nucleosome-like particles formed by co-occurring viral histone triplets and singlets. On the lower right, a network depicts distinct types of viral ...

In their study, the researchers show that NAC brings two enzymes to the ribosome to first remove the first amino acid from the histone protein and then to modify the newly exposed end with an acetyl ...

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 ...

A new method that research teams can use to measure and compare different forms of proteins and protein complexes helped reveal a previously unseen molecular signature of how algal genomes are ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together according to messenger RNA, forming a growing ...
