The "ice" structure for the E. coli ribosome clearly illustrates how the ribosome could work and it is used as the basis of a detailed account of ribosome function. There have been objections to this structure as it does not fit with current beliefs about the position of the T-site, for the arriving

Elucidation of the catalytic mechanism and structure-function relationship studies of the hammerhead ribozyme continue to be an area of intensive research. A combination of diverse approaches, such as X ray crystallography, spectral studies, chemical modifications, sequence variations and kinetic an
Assembly of polyribosomes is the ubiquitous manifestation of the activation of translational machinery in cells. This is accompanied by a concomitant appearance of mRNAs either from an activation of pre-existing ribo-nucleoprotein particles (RNP) or from newly synthesized transcripts. The size-distr
In hippocampal neurons of ground squirrels and neuroblastoma culture the ribosome state was analyzed by staining with acridine orange (AO), labeling with radioactive amino acids, and electron microscopy. Electron microscopy indicated that the extent to which ribosomes associated in polysomes varied
