Abstract
Our understanding of the process of translation has progressed rapidly since the availability of highly resolved structures for the ribosome. A wealth of information has emerged in terms of both RNA and protein structure and the interplay between them. This has prompted us to revisit the astonishing “treasure trove” of functional data regarding the ribosome that has accumulated over the past decades. Here we try a systematic synopsis of these ribosomal functions in light of the cryo-electron microscopic structures (resolution > 7 Å) and the atomic x-ray structures ( > 2.4 Å) of the ribosome.

Artificial Intelligence for Protein Research
Protein research, essential for understanding biological processes and creating therapeutics, faces challenges due to the intricate nature of protein structures and functions. Traditional methods are limited in exploring the vast protein sequence space efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising solutions by improving predictions and speeding up ...read more
Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
