...Cecelia M. Harold Ribosome biogenesis is the complex and essential process that ultimately leads to the synthesis of cellular proteins. Understanding each step of this essential process is imperative to increase our understanding of basic biology, but also more critically, to provide novel...

...Wendy El Khoury; Zeina Nasr The ribosome, the site for protein synthesis, is composed of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and ribosomal proteins (RPs). The latter have been shown to have many ribosomal and extraribosomal functions. RPs are implicated in a variety of pathological processes, especially...

...Hazel A. Bracken; Cheryl A. Woolhead Ribosomes are responsible for the synthesis of all cellular proteins. Due to the diversity of sequence and properties, it was initially believed that translating nascent chains would travel unhindered through the ribosome exit tunnel, however a small...
