  5. Researchers try to cut the #genetic code from 20 to 19 #aminoacids
    Using #AI tools, the team reworked part of the #ribosome to need one less #aminoacid.
    Most hypotheses suggest that earlier forms of life had partial genetic codes and used fewer than 20 amino acids. A team from Columbia and Harvard eliminated one of 20 currently in use. As a first attempt, they engineered a portion of the ribosome that worked without using an otherwise essential amino acid: #isoleucine.

  26. Structure of an archaeal ribosome reveals a
    divergent active site and hibernation factor | Nature Micro

    rdcu.be/ewZ3S

    "Ribosomes translate mRNA into protein. Despite divergence in ribosome structure over the course of evolution, the catalytic site, known as the peptidyl transferase centre (PTC) is thought to be nearly universally conserved. Here we identify clades of archaea that have highly divergent ribosomal RNA sequences in the PTC."

  29. New #antibiotic that kills #drugresistant #bacteria discovered in technician’s #garden
    It targets bacteria’s protein-making factory, the #ribosome, in a way that other antibiotic drugs don’t. Ribosome is an attractive antibiotic target because bacteria don’t easily develop resistance to #drugs targeting the structure. In studies, #lariocidin slowed the growth of a range of common bacterial #pathogens, including many multidrug-resistant strains.
