Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) nanomachines that convert the genetic information encoded in mRNAs into proteins. At the ribosome's functional core is rRNA, a ribozyme that catalyzes the ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...
