Translation control is staging a comeback, and the third edition of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press compendium on protein synthesis could not have come at a better time. Although regulation of ...

Ribosomes can function with iron or manganese ions in place of magnesium, recent results show, providing an insight into the evolutionary history of protein transcription. A recent study that set out ...

There is an incalculable number of potential molecular tRNA species, represented by their post-transcriptionally modified forms, by the presence of isoacceptors and isodecoders as well as by the ...

The Journal of Neuroscience features for the first time a cover concept that is not about what neuroscientists have done, but ...

It's easy to focus on the nuances that get lost in translation, but what about the insights that are found? This hour, TED speakers reveal what we gain by adapting and translating information. Guests ...
