Figure 4: Relative movement of the 30S subunit with respect to the 50S subunit upon EF-G–GMPP(CH 2)P binding to the 70S ribosome.

Neomycin is an antibiotic that interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding primarily to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Many vaccines contain trace amounts of neomycin to ...

The ribosome contains hundreds of thousands of atoms and two main subunits. The smaller subunit binds messenger RNA and helps form peptide bonds. The larger subunit catalyzes the bond.

Because they are tiny—around 20–30 nanometers,” says Associate Professor Eva Kummer, who led the study. The ribosome ...

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 ...

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 ...

"However, it is becoming clear that ribosomes can change in terms of structure and function, either through changes in their subunit composition or post-translational modifications to ribosomal ...

This study provides detailed measurements of the movement parameters of the small subunit (SSU ... eEF3) to the ribosome as well as their dissociation from it. For the first time, the researchers ...
