Synthesizing Ribosomes Could Lead To New Antibiotics, Modified Protein-Generators

Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University, working with partners at Harvard Medical School, have for the first time synthesized ribosomes - cell structures responsible for generating all proteins and enzymes in our bodies - from scratch in a test tube. Others have previously tried to synthesize ribosomes from their constituent parts, but the efforts have yielded poorly functional ribosomes under conditions that do not replicate the environment of a living cell. In addition, attempts to combine ribosome synthesis and assembly in a single process have failed for decades... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
