RNA, ribonucleic acid, is the genetic material that transcribes DNA's instructions and translates instruction into construction of protein.

Archaea are prokaryotes that differ from bacteria and eukaryotes enough to be assigned to their own taxonomic domain. Here is a brief introduction to Archaeans.

Nucleic acids, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the vital genetic blueprints, messengers and builders of the cellular world.

Cells that are small and primitive, or large and more complex, are organized to promote their sustenance and survival. Even the simplest of cells are very complex.

This collection of articles explores the components and function of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and the cellular energy carrier ATP.

Prior to cell division, a new copy of DNA must be built. And in order for our cells to make proteins, RNA must be created from the DNA template. How is this accomplished?

The purification and crystallization of ribosomes clarified how structure is related to function and how ribosomes account for the law and order of protein synthesis.

See the structure, nature and function of ribosomes - cell organelles essential for life. Ribosomes work with messenger RNA to manufacture all necessary cell proteins.

The mechanisms of inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis become clearer each year. The recent Nobel Prize in Chemistry rewarded the clearer understanding of ribosomes.

Cell membranes once seemed to be simple cell structures. Today, membranes are recognized as complex, highly-organized structures that still require intensive research.

Prokaryotes are evolutionarily ancient, for billions of years the only form of life. Here's a summary of the basic "parts & pieces" of these primitive cells.
