How Do Nascent Proteins Emerge from the Ribosome

摘要

The ribosome is the universal cellular "factory" for producing proteins by translating the genetic code. These highly efficient polymerases posses spectacular architecture and inherent mobility, allowing their smooth performance in decoding the genetic information as well as the formation of peptide bonds, elongation of the newly born proteins and their protection (for review see [45] ChemBioChem 10:63-72, 2009).
