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 ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

An international team of scientists have used advanced microscopy to image how ribosomes recruit to mRNA. Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell ...

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 ...
