Disulfide bonds play a pivotal role in the folding and stability of many bacterial proteins, influencing not only their tertiary structure but also their biological activity. In bacteria, the ...
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are ancient and evolutionary conserved enzymes catalyzing the formation of aminoacyl-tRNAs, that are used as substrates for ribosomal protein biosynthesis. In ...
Researchers have determined how the pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 inhibits the synthesis of proteins in infected cells and shown that it effectively disarms the body's innate immune system.
