title: Protein synthesis and translational control: at eye level with the ribosome.
abstract: At the EMBO Conference on 'Protein Synthesis and Translational Control' held in Heidelberg in September 2011, scientists shared their latest findings on the structure and function of the ribosome, mRNA-specific regulation of translation and the numerous quality control mechanisms that ensure accurate protein synthesis.
