GRE Subject Test: Biology › Understanding Ribosomes
Ribosomes are the organelle responsible for the translation of mRNAs into proteins. To do this, ribosomes translate the mRNA codons into amino acids which are joined to form a long polypeptide. The ribosome has a catalytic domain that is responsible for the formation of the peptide bonds between these amino acids. What is the name, i.e. the enzymatic classification, of this domain in the ribosome?
Which of the following best describes the ribosome in terms of its structural components?
Which of the following is true about eukaryote ribosomes?
