Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

The process of translation by ribosomes, which functions as a factory of protein synthesis, may be impeded by ‘ribosome arrest peptides’ (RAPs). However, underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Researchers headed by a team at the The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have discovered a protein, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A ...

Cancer is the Houdini of diseases because it escapes elaborately contrived predicaments. Like Houdini, who was known to emerge triumphant after being handcuffed, locked in a trunk, and tossed into a ...

Transcription initiation and elongation of HIV-1 are critical processes regulating viral latency and activation. Despite these two processes playing essential roles in HIV-1 gene expression, how they ...
