Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) represents a transformative technology in which the molecular machinery of transcription and translation is extracted from living cells and employed in a controlled ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

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

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever.

This article explores limitations of chemical synthesis in high-throughput settings and the technical advantages enzymatic ...
