Archaeal Ribosome Shows Unique Active Site, Hibernation Factor

In the intricate machinery of life, ribosomes stand as the quintessential molecular factories responsible for translating genetic information into functional proteins. These macromolecular complexes orchestrate the decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains, a process fundamental to all cellular organisms. Despite the long evolutionary journey and the structural variations observed across different domains of […]
