This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus and ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Thanks to AI, we just got stunningly powerful tools to decode life. Proteins are the minions of life. They form our bodies, fuel our metabolism, and are the target of most of today’s medicine. They ...

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial ...
