Several recently reported structures reveal the details of ribosome architecture ... difficult placement of associated β-sheets. In this structure, 12 different proteins have been located and ...

As they are being synthesized, these nascent proteins simultaneously attempt to fold while still associated with their parent ribosome, referred to as co-translational protein folding ...

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 ...

As they are being synthesised, these nascent proteins simultaneously attempt to fold while still associated to their parent ...

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...
