Ribosomes
All living cells contain ribosomes, tiny organelles composed of approximately 60 percent ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 40 percent protein. However, though they are generally described as organelles, it is… More »
A ribosome is not just one piece. There are two pieces or subunits. Scientists named them 60-S (large) and 40-S (small). When the cell needs to make protein, mRNA is created in the nucleus. The mRNA is then sent into the cell and the ribosomes.

they hope to determine the conformational changes of many of the component molecules within the ribosome structure in response to external macromolecules and cofactors engaged in protein synthesis. Such knowledge will also be important in enabling us to understand the regulation of translation of genetic messages.

2009 Chemistry Nobel for ribosome structure; (Nobel Foundation) ... The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2009 awards studies of one of life's core processes: the ribosome's translation of DNA information into life. Ribosomes produce proteins, which in turn control the chemistry in all living organisms.
