A team led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab at Janelia used the technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes—the ...

Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

This study provides detailed measurements of the movement parameters of the small ... eEF2, eEF3) to the ribosome as well as their dissociation from it. For the first time, the researchers ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
