Discover how an emerging technology called tRNA therapy could become the next big thing in genetic disease treatment.

The genomes of species from bacteria to Drosophila show unique biases for particular synonymous codons—varying triplet base pairs that code for the same amino acids—but it has been unclear if such ...

Stop codons can sometimes be reinterpreted, allowing the cell to insert an amino acid rather than halting translation. This normally requires a specific signal in the mRNA that guides the ribosome ...

That process led to the group discovering a lasso peptide that exhibited broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and was effective at killing both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, along ...

Stop codons can sometimes be reinterpreted, allowing the cell to insert an amino acid rather than halting translation. This normally requires a specific signal in the mRNA that guides the ribosome to ...

Alzforum webpages for each DIAN-TU-eligible variant now state “DIAN-TU eligibility: Yes” near the top of the page and an explanation under the Pathogenicity section (see, for example, PSEN1 M146V ).

Different codons indicate different amino acids that, when put together, create proteins. For example, the codons CAA and CAG create the amino acid glutamine. When all of the codons are put ...

The model presents Ami interaction (light blue) with the 5′-end of mRNA (green) and the implied interaction of the 16S rRNA (orange) with EF-G (magenta) amino acids (yellow), providing ... of ...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission has detected amino acids in the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, ...

Bacteria naturally present in the human intestine (known as the gut microbiota) can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into powerful metabolites that strengthen anti-cancer immunity by blocking ...
