Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life. It's ...
Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...
In mammalian cells, the nucleolus is the central site for ribosome biogenesis. It is composed of distinct subcompartments: the fibrillar center (FC), the dense fibrillar component (DFC), the periphery ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
