Organelles: Ribosomes
Overview
Ribosomes are multi-component structures that translate messenger RNA molecules into proteins. The large and small ribosomal subunits contain both protein and RNA components. During protein translation, a ribosomal complex contains each ribosomal subunit, an mRNA molecule, initiation and elongation factors, and a series of transfer RNA molecules loaded with amino acids dictated by the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.
Data Examples
Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Ribosomal Protein S6/RPS6 Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (green, Catalog # IC5436G) was used to stain ribosomes in HeLa Human Cell Line and counterstained with DAPI (blue).
