Design of translating ribosome

A cross-section of a ribosome in action.

This colorful illustration shows a cross section of a ribosome engaged in protein synthesis.

Ribosome collage design

This colorful illustration shows a cross section of a ribosome engaged in protein synthesis.

Illustration showing proteins (red) being synthesised by ribosomes (yellow spheres) receiving mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid, purple and yellow strands). The instructions for building the proteins are encoded in these strands of mRNA that originate in the cell nucleus (multicoloured, centre), and is a copy of the information coded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the nucleus. The mRNA is shown emerging from nuclear pores.

Let's name the parts of the cell.

Comparison between ribosomes from different organisms.

Prokaryotic Cell. Detailed structure of a bacterial cell. Original concept and great gift idea for students, scientists, researchers, PhD, biologists, microbiologists, zoologists, etc.

Detailed structure of a human, animal, eukaryotic cell, great gift idea for scientists, biologists, students, doctors, pharmacists, doctoral students, researchers, teachers, ...

A swan with a nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, vacuole, peroxisomes, ribosome, Golgi body, and ER, making it a Swan Cell, a play on Schwann cell. A Schwann cell is a peripheral nervous system cell which insulates axons with myelin.

Escherichia coli. Artwork of a section through the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). The cell wall (green, lower left to upper right) contains two membrane layers studded with proteins. A flagellar motor and flagellum is shown at top left. The cytoplasm contains ribosomes (purple), tRNA molecules (maroon), enzymes (blue) and mRNA (white). The lower right portion of the image shows the cell nucleus (yellow and orange). E. coli is a rod-shaped bacterium (bacillus). It is a normal component of intestinal bacterial flora, but under certain conditions can cause gastroenteritis and other infections.

Detailed structure of an animal eukaryotic cell. Original concept, and great gift idea for student, scientist, biologist, doctor, PhD, teacher, professor, etc.

It's all takin' and no givin' for Nigel the ribosome.
