Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...

Traditional analog ELISA readout systems need great volumes, which inevitably dilute reaction products, adding the requirement of millions of enzyme labels to develop signals that can be detected with ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...
