"small subunit (30S in bacteria; 40S in eukaryotes): mediates mRNA decoding by monitoring codon–anticodon interactions, thereby ensuring accurate tRNA selection and facilitating mRNA translocation."
"small subunit (30S in bacteria; 40S in eukaryotes): mediates mRNA decoding by monitoring codon–anticodon interactions, thereby ensuring accurate tRNA selection and facilitating mRNA translocation."
"large subunit (50S in bacteria; 60S in eukaryotes): houses the peptidyl transferase centre (PTC), which catalyses peptide-bond formation during protein synthesis. Because this catalytic activity resides primarily within the rRNA, the ribosome is functionally classified as a ribozyme."
"Ribosomes are ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein macromolecular complexes that serve as the site of cellular protein synthesis. They translate the genetic information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains."
"Ribosomes can be viewed as dynamic, RNA-based molecular machines whose essential catalytic core has remained remarkably conserved throughout evolution 1."
