dc.description.abstractThe ribosome is the living cell’s factory for protein synthesis. A bacterial ribosome contains two subunits: the small 30S subunit, and the large 50S subunit. After DNA is transcribed to mRNA, the ribosome, using tRNAs to interpret the mRNA code, travels along the mRNA and strings together specific amino acids to form a peptide chain that eventually folds into a fully formed protein (Steitz, 2008).
