Abstract excerpt
The ribosome is responsible for protein synthesis, the translation of the genetic code, in all living organisms. Ribosomes are composed of RNA (ribosomal RNA) and protein (ribosomal protein). Soluble protein factors bind to the ribosome and facilitate different phases of translation. Genetic approaches have proved useful for the identification and characterization of the structural and functional roles of...
