Ribosomes

**MSFixR** · 02-20-2007, 11:53 AM

The human genome project was interesting and yielded some excellent data but proteins are were the action is and what magical cellular component assembles proteins? You got it, Ribosomes.

Quote:

If genomic DNA is the cell's planning authority, then the ribosome is its factory, churning out the proteins of life.

This article in the online edition of C&EN explanes how ribosomes work and goes into their structure. Ribosomes
It also includes five flash videos and several drawings to illustrate points made in the text. I found it to be very interesting.
