High-moisture extrusion is widely used for producing fibrous, meat-like structures from plant protein ingredients at industrial scale. By combining thermomechanical treatment with controlled cooling, ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
