Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa have discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed to make ribosomes, the central engines in all cells that translate genetic ...
In cells, ribosomes (shown as grey blobs) read RNA messages and convert the information into proteins. The researchers hypothesize that during infection, one component of the ribosome, eL40 (green ...
