Ribosome assembly – The final trimming stage

[ad_1] Ribosomes synthesize all proteins in cells. Studies conducted primarily in yeast have revealed much about how ribosomes are assembled, but a Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) team in Munich now reports that assembling ribosomes in human cells requires factors that have no counterparts in more model organisms. simple. In each cell, hundreds …

Biophysics: geometry replaces simulations

[ad_1] Physicists Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) of Munich introduced a new method that allows to systematically characterize biological modeling systems with the help of mathematical analysis. The trick is to use geometry to characterize dynamics. Many life processes that take place in biological cells depend on the formation of self-organized molecular patterns. …
