A new study finds that when it comes to building muscle, the source of dietary protein—whether animal- or plant-based—makes ...

They then added the mRNAs one by one to a mix of ribosomes and aminoacyl-tRNAs with one amino acid radioactively labeled ... acts as the start signal for protein synthesis in an mRNA.

A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...

Ribosomal functions beyond protein synthesis have been uncovered over the years, revealing its role not only in the synthesis of proteins but also in the regulation of the complex process through ...

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 ...

A deficiency in mitochondrial protein synthesis, due to the knockout of the MTO1 gene in hematopoietic cells, disrupts intracellular iron distribution, leading to fetal anemia.

Each day, participants drank "heavy" water, which was labeled with deuterium ... that there were no differences in rates of muscle protein synthesis between those eating vegan or omnivorous ...
