3. Introduction
.
It is large and complex molecule .
Found in all living cells prokaryote &
eukaryote .
That serves as the primary site of
Biological protein synthesis .
In 1995 , George E .Palade Discovered
ribosomes and described them as a
small particles in the cytoplasm

4. It is without cell membrane
Two subunits are attach by
different angles,
Large subunit
Small subunit
Structure
The subunits of the ribosome are
synthesized by the nucleolus
By – vansh verma
5. A ribosome has two main constituent
elements
Protein = 25-40%
Structure
RNA = 37-62%
Consists of two RNA
strands
Strands are dotted
with protein coats

6. Quantity of ribosomes vary depend upon
the type of cell e.g.,
Bacteria = 20,000
Quantity
Yeast = 200,000
Quantity depends upon the physiological
ability of cell to produce proteins

7. Main function of ribosomes is the
translation of genetic information
encoded in nucleotide bases of DNA into
amino acid sequence of proteins.
Functions
This is also known as “gene expression”
By – vansh verma
8. The two ribosomal subunits join to
translate the mRNA into proteins.
Translation
Following are the steps of translation:
Initiation
Elongation
Termination”
By – vansh verma
9. To begin initiation, the
small subunit of a
ribosome attaches to the
mRNA..
Initiation
The small subunit then moves
along the mRNA until it reaches
the first readable Codon. This
codon always codes for the
amino acid methionine.
The tRNA molecules are the
next to enter. These charged
molecules of RNA bring the
amino acids to the ribosome.
By – vansh verma
10. Each tRNA has a triplet coding
sequence that corresponds with
the amino acid it carries along.
Initiation
The triplet sequence of the
tRNA is complementary to the
triplet codon sequence in the
mRNA.
Each triplet codon sequence in
the mRNA and the tRNA
corresponds to a specific amino
acid.
By – vansh verma
11. After the first tRNA moves into
place, the large subunit of the
ribosome attaches to the small
subunit..
Initiation
The complete ribosome consists
of two sites: petidyl (left)
andaminoacyl (right).
By – vansh verma
12. After the first tRNA has
attached to the peptidyl site, a
second tRNA enters the
complete ribosome and
attaches to its complementary
mRNA codon in
the aminoacyl site.
Elongation
With the two tRNA in place, the
amino acid from
the peptidyl tRNA, moves and
attaches to the tRNA in
the aminoacyl site
By – vansh verma
13. The peptide chain is released
from the tRNA and leaves the
ribosome.
Elongation
Protein synthesis is now
complete. The peptide chain is
ready to act as a protein or be
combined with other chains to
form larger, polypeptide proteins
By – vansh verma
14. During overburdening or stress condition
of endoplasmic reticulum and thus
ribosomes present on them function
improperly
Ribosome associated
diseases:
This improper functioning is
characterized by improper folding of
proteins
Some of such diseases are:
Diabetes
Cystic fibrosis
Neurodegenerative disorders
And other conformational disorders
