Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed ... with chemical tags that can alter the shape and function of the ribosome. Cells use these tags to fine tune protein production.

“If you slow down the leading ribosome, the ribosome after it goes and hits it . . . just like a pile-up in a freeway.” Some intracellular bacteria use the host cell’s actin supplies to build their ...

Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes Location of many ... eg genes for antibiotic resistance Bacterial cell ? Compartment in cell where DNA is stored as ...

Ribosomes are dependent upon magnesium ... Spontaneous mutations of DNA arise in all living cells, including those within bacteria. Some of these mutations lead to antibiotic resistance.

Until recently, scientists had few clues as to how the bacterial protection worked. Then, in 2013, a research group led by Steve Perlman of the University of Victoria found that Spiroplasma in one ...

Researchers created replicas of 3D cell structures inside Minecraft and made them available for anyone to use in their own installation of the game.

We focus on how temperature affects the cytoplasmic state in bacteria and what the consequences to cellular processes are. To study this, we use super-resolution microscopy and single molecule ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based ... eEF2, eEF3) to the ribosome as well as their dissociation from it. For the first time, the researchers captured ...
