This diverse set of proteins, known as a proteome, is maintained by the robust translation elongation of amino acid sequences taking place in the ribosomes. The translation mechanisms which ensure that nascent chains of polypeptides\u2014long chains of amino acids\u2014are elongated without getting detached are conserved in all living organisms. However, the rates of elongation are not constant. Elongation is often interrupted by interactions between positively charged nascent polypeptides and negatively charged ribosomal RNA.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-01-lost-risky-amino-acids-abort.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lost in translation: How &#8216;risky&#8217; amino acids abort elongation in protein synthesis<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life depends on the precise functioning of several proteins synthesized in cells by ribosomes.
