Peter Shen, a postdoctoral researcher in Frost’s lab, isolated RQCs from yeast cells and used cryo-electron microscopy to develop three-dimensional images of their interactions with large ribosomal ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

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 ...

"Ribosomes are very large macromolecular machines that very ... subunit composition or post-translational modifications to ...
