These enzymes, AARSs for short, link transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to the corresponding amino acids. That would seem to be a big enough job for one class of enzymes—and when protein-based life began, it was.

This Review focuses on protein synthesis and active digestive enzymes—two key stressors faced by the acinar cell that are likely to be the major drivers of pathology encountered in the pancreas.

Weizmann Institute of Science-led researchers have unveiled a computational workflow that crafts enzymes exhibiting catalytic ...

Protein synthesis isn't a slow process, either. A protein chain 400 amino acids long can be assembled in 20 seconds! The keratin made by the hair follicle cells makes long fibers.

Human proteins undergo a variety of chemical modifications following their synthesis. These modifications regulate their ...

Scientists have identified a new class of compounds capable of partially clearing the tropical parasite that causes Chagas ...

Glycans are chains of sugars that attach to cells through proteins or lipids, changing their chemical characteristics. Glycans can be incredibly complex and branched in structure, contributing to ...

Reticulocyte Enzymes and Protein Synthesis. DRUMMOND ELLIS 1, C. ELIZABETH SEWELL 1 & L. G. SKINNER 1 ...

To understand how LRRK2 reduced protein synthesis, researchers examined a brain region called the substantia nigra, which is affected in Parkinson's disease.In rats exposed to rotenone, they found ...

New technology enables fast protein synthesis ... They also produced proinsulin, an insulin precursor with 86 amino acids, and an enzyme called lysozyme, which has 129 amino acids, ...
