A ribosome is a small structure found in cells that helps to make proteins. It reads and follows instructions from the genetic material in the cell to build the specific protein needed by the organism. Full definition
The same agents that damage DNA also damage its sister molecule messenger RNA (mRNA), which ferries transcripts of the genes to the tens of thousands of ribosomes in each cell. (sciencedaily.com)
This study reveals a new function for Hfq in ribosome biogenesis with implications for translational control. (emboj.embopress.org)
This makes me happy: Research on ribosomes by Noller and others has led to the development of novel antibiotics that hold promise for use against drug - resistant bacteria. (religion.blogs.cnn.com)
