Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

"We think the bacteria's ribosomes might be altering its structure just enough to prevent an antibiotic from binding effectively," says Anna Delgado-Tejedor, first author of the study and Ph.D ...

They were able to observe the smooth bending motion of inter-subunit bridge proteins and the spring-like transitions of tRNA between ribosome-binding sites, which had not been previously seen in ...
