ribosome
Definition
Large ribonucleoprotein complexes that catalyze protein synthesis by translating mRNA codons into amino acid sequences. Eukaryotic ribosomes (80S) consist of a 60S large subunit and a 40S small subunit, while prokaryotic ribosomes (70S) contain 50S and 30S subunits. Ribosomes are the target of several antibiotics that specifically inhibit bacterial translation.
In Practice
ribosome is widely used in cell biology and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ribosome?
Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein complexes translating mRNA into proteins. Eukaryotic ribosomes (80S) have 60S+40S subunits; prokaryotic (70S) have 50S+30S subunits. Several antibiotics target bacterial ribosomes. Explore the full definition and applications on this page.
How does ribosome relate to translation?
ribosome is closely connected to translation and other Cell Biology concepts. Understanding these relationships is essential for comprehensive knowledge in molecular biology and bioinformatics.
