Ribosome tunnel interactions reveal how bacteria can pause protein production

Ribosome tunnel interactions reveal how bacteria can pause protein production Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor How do bacteria regulate the production of their proteins? Researchers at the University of Hamburg, in collaboration with international partners, have now demonstrated how small protein building blocks, known as peptides, specifically influence bacterial protein production. The findings have been published in two articles in the journal Nature Communications.
