Scientists Capture Near-Continuous Molecular Movie of Ribosome Formation
Revealing the Birth of a Cellular Powerhouse Ribosomes, the cellular protein factories that translate genetic instructions into life-sustaining proteins, have long fascinated scientists. How these complex machines assemble from individual RNA and protein components has remained one of biology’s most intricate puzzles. In a breakthrough study, researchers have now captured a near-continuous molecular movie of…
