NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- An annual Harris Poll that measures the percentage of Americans perceiving 19 large industries as "generally honest and trustworthy" finds that the most trusted industries are supermarkets and hospitals, followed distantly by online search engines, computer software companies, banks, computer hardware companies and electric and gas utilities. The poll also finds that industries which the largest percentages of U.S. adults would like to see...
At crucial points in the metabolism of all organisms, a protein with the unwieldy name of Translation Elongation Factor P (EF-P, for short) takes center stage. What it actually does during protein synthesis has only now been elucidated – by researchers at LMU. The research group led by Kirsten Jung, Professor of Microbiology at LMU, actually focused on how bacteria cope with stress, for example how the receptor meolecule CadC monitors the acidity in the environment and alerts the cell to...

The activity of any living cell, and by extension life itself, depends on protein synthesis and the transcription of DNA. If proteins are the machinery of cellular function, then DNA are the machine assembly lines – responsible for accurately and efficiently ‘transcribing’ protein messengers, structures and enzymes. DNA transcription begins in the nucleus of a cell when an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to the DNA strand. Sequences within the DNA direct the polymerase to...
