A research team presents an overview of recent advances in the microbial biosynthesis of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and its ...

This review synthesizes progress in pathway optimization, regulatory rewiring, and microbial cell factory design that has ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

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 ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

BK and CaV1.3 channels interact early during biogenesis, assembling intracellularly before membrane localization, indicating coordinated processes for functional coupling.

A new CRISPR-based approach for tuning gene expression up and down allowed identification of how other genes' expression responds to changes of transcription factors.

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

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
