Thus, the interpretations of these partial ribosome structures were only possible ... The relative lack of biochemical data on many large subunit proteins certainly hinders the fitting at this ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

Surprisingly, it does this in the absence of both messenger RNA and the ribosome’s small, message-reading subunit. The ribosome is a large molecular complex of RNA and protein. When eukaryotic ...

Steitz Image: Michael Marsland/Yale University At the beginning of the 1950s, scientists realized that ribosomes, large complexes of RNA and protein ... the time because of the structure's complexity.

Poxviruses are a family of large ... composition of ribosomal subunit proteins (RPs). However, the infection did modify the ...
