Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are ubiquitous enzymes that provide the critical link between the genetic code and protein biosynthesis. By precisely catalysing the attachment of amino acids to ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Researchers identify the crucial protein for controlling the biosynthesis of steroidal glycoalkaloids and saponins in plants of the genus Solanum and for the first time demonstrate the ecological role ...

In addition, we have discovered previously unknown proteins that perform similar functions in other bacteria in the formation of their magnetic compass needle. This sheds new light on the function of ...

Lipoic acid is a pivotal organosulfur cofactor that facilitates critical reactions within multienzyme complexes involved in energy metabolism. Present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, its ...
