Researchers have revealed a secret behind horses' exceptional endurance – a mutation in the KEAP1 gene that boosts energy production while protecting against cellular oxidative stress. The findings – ...

Synthetic biologists repurposed rarely used codons to install novel amino acids into proteins and expand the capabilities of protein engineering. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the ...

A genetic change that boosts a cell's aerobic capacity while also protecting it from excess stress could explain how horses became such powerful athletes, according to a new study in Science.

In the study, the researchers found that stop codon readthrough causes the translation machinery to make a longer and more unstable version of FEM1B.

The genetic code is a set of rules defining how the four-letter code of DNA is translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The genetic code is a ...

During protein synthesis, the genetic information stored in DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA then travels to the ribosome, where translation occurs. Here's how anticodons facilitate the ...
