The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and a number of proteins. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs ...

RNAP (left, red) can directly deliver the mRNA to the entry channel of the small ribosomal subunit (left, yellow). Alternatively, and likely dominant in bacteria, RNAP (green) can interact with ...

The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes ... The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome ...

These 70S ribosomes consist of two subunits: a 30S small subunit and a 50S large subunit. The 30S subunit contains a 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule, while the 50S subunit harbors 23S and 5S ...
