A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency partially depends ...
To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...
The other known alternate sense codon use among yeast was first identified in Candida albicans two decades ago. This too involves a CUG codon, but results in serine in the translated protein. “For ...
Living organisms synthesize a staggering variety of proteins by combining 20 amino acids into chains of any length and order. In the past, to expand protein diversity beyond the scope of these 20 ...
How a mismatch between the virus’s codon usage and the host's genome can hinder viral translation.
