5. *INTRODUCTION
Cell have tiny granular structures known
as Ribosomes
Ribosomes are Ribonucleo-Protein Particles
Ribosomes serves as workbenches, with mRNA
acting as the blueprint in the process of protein
synthesis
Quantity of ribosomes vary depend upon
the type of cell e.g.,
Bacteria = 20,000
7. * The number of Ribosomes differs greatly
A rapidly growing E.colicell may have as many as
15,000 to 20,000 ribosomes, about 15% of the cell
mass
8. *TYPE OF RIBOSOMES
Matrix Ribosomes: These synthesize proteins destined
to remain within the cell
Plasma Membrane Ribosomes:These make proteins
for transport to the outside
covered with a protein coat
12. *STRUCTUER OF RIBOSOES
Structure
PROKARYOTIC SUBUNITS:
larger subunit =50 S Consists of a singleRNAstrands
smaller subunit=30 S Consists of two RNA strands
Total ribosomal complex = 80 S
Total ribosomal complex = 70 S
34. Tetracyclines binds
reversibly to the
30S subunit of
the bacterial
ribosome,
thereby blocking
access of the
amino acyl-tRNA
to the mRNA-
ribosome
complex at the
