In eukaryotes (but not in prokaryotes), some of the ribosomes are attached to internal membranes, where they synthesize the proteins that will later reside in those membranes, or are destined for ...

In 2000, using a method known as x-ray crystallography, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and other researchers were able to collaborate to map the structure of ribosomes, made up of hundreds of thousands ...

A figure of the 80S ribosome structure. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Nov. 26, 2010, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Adam Ben-Shem at IGBMC (Institut ...

In prokaryotes, which lack a distinct nucleus and internal ... genetic structure, they provided the team with an ideal host for analyzing the mechanisms and machinery involved in ribosome-RNAP ...

"However, it is becoming clear that ribosomes can change in terms of structure and function, either through changes in their subunit composition or post-translational modifications to ribosomal ...
