Amid a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, researchers believe they have discovered a new class of antibiotics for the first ...

They found a new molecule named lariocidin —a potential new antibiotic with the power to kill some of the world’s most ...

The study reveals lariocidin, a potent ribosome-targeting antibiotic, with unique mechanisms that could combat drug-resistant ...

Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place ... These differences are exploited by antibiotics, which are designed to inhibit the prokaryotic ribosomes of infectious ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

Israeli researchers have discovered a surprising immune defense role of the proteasome, a cellular structure known for degrading and recycling proteins. The study, published in Nature, could ...

Given the essential role of rRNA in protein synthesis, it is not surprising that many antibiotics target the ribosome and its rRNA components. Antibiotics such as aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and ...
