Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

is not reversibly bound to 70S ribosomes but is attached even in low concentrations of magnesium ions to both 5OS and 30S ribosomal sub-units ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the ...

"Ribosomes are very large macromolecular machines that very rapidly and precisely decode mRNA into protein. For a long time, they've been viewed as kind of 'dumb code-reading machines' that don't ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

and ribosome (labelled with the green sphere) as they progress on the same mRNA molecule (white line between the spheres). Credit must be given to the creator. Only noncommercial uses of the work ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

He ripped the ribosome open, literally. And, it became an important step in the production of antibiotics. In 2000, using a method known as x-ray crystallography, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.
