How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

Life depends on a partnership between RNA, which stores instructions, and proteins, which do the work of building and running cells. But how this partnership began has long puzzled scientists. To make ...

Glutamate transporters are able to uptake neurotransmitter glutamate from synaptic cleft and maintain its concentration at low level ( < 1 μM) thus to protect neurons from excitotoxicity caused by Glu ...
