  2. Ribosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome

    A ribosome is made from complexes of RNAs and proteins and is therefore a ribonucleoprotein complex. In prokaryotes each ribosome is composed of small (30S) and large (50S) components, called subunits, which are bound to each other: (30S) has mainly a decoding function and is also bound to the mRNA

  3. Ribosomal RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_RNA

    The ribosome catalyzes ester-amide exchange, transferring the C-terminus of a nascent peptide from a tRNA to the amine of an amino acid. These processes are able to occur due to sites within the ribosome in which these molecules can bind, formed by the rRNA stem-loops. A ribosome has three of these binding sites called the A, P and E sites:

  4. Ribosomal DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_DNA

    The ribosomal DNA includes all genes coding for the non-coding structural ribosomal RNA molecules. Across all domains of life, these are the structural sequences of the small subunit (16S or 18S rRNA) and the large subunit (23S or 28S rRNA).

  5. Eukaryotic ribosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_ribosome

    Ribosomes from all organisms share a highly conserved catalytic center. However, the ribosomes of eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, and large number unicellular organisms all with a nucleus) are much larger than prokaryotic (bacterial and archaeal) ribosomes and subject to more complex regulation and biogenesis pathways.

  6. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell. The ribosome facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of complementary transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodon sequences to mRNA codons. The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide as the mRNA passes through and is "read ...

  7. Ribosomal protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_protein

    The ribosome of E. coli has about 22 proteins in the small subunit (labelled S1 to S22) and 33 proteins in the large subunit (somewhat counter-intuitively called L1 to L36). All of them are different with three exceptions: one protein is found in both subunits (S20 and L26), [ dubious – discuss ] L7 and L12 are acetylated and methylated forms ...

  9. Biomolecule - Wikipedia

    Examples are tRNA, ribosomes, ribozymes, and riboswitches. These complex structures are facilitated by the fact that RNA backbone has less local flexibility than DNA but a large set of distinct conformations, apparently because of both positive and negative interactions of the extra OH on the ribose.
