A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) represents a transformative technology in which the molecular machinery of transcription and translation is extracted from living cells and employed in a controlled ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties is now possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Dominik Niopek at the ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original genome and used less genetic material.

Despite their fundamental differences, plants, animals, and fungi share certain metabolic processes. Biologists at the U.S.
