Ribosomes Can Translate the ‘Untranslated Region’ of Messenger RNA
In what appears to be an unexpected challenge to a long-accepted fact of biology, researchers say they have found that ribosomes — the molecular machines in all cells that build proteins — can sometimes do so even within the so-called untranslated regions of the ribbons of genetic material known as messenger RNA (mRNA).
