Question

What are the 2 subunits of 70S Ribosomes?

Answer 1

Two subunits of 70S ribosomes are:

1. The process of making proteins in a cell takes place at an intercellular structure called a ribosome, which is formed of both RNA and protein.
2. The messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence is read by the ribosome, which then converts the genetic code into a specific string of amino acids that develop into extended chains and fold to create proteins.
3. Small 30S subunits:
   1. It is the smaller subunit of 70S Ribosomes found in prokaryotes.
   2. Subunits containing a single RNA molecule.
   3. The molecule has approximately 16S rRNA and 21 proteins.
   4. It is responsible for the reading and the binding of the mRNA during translation.
4. Large 50S subunits:
   1. It is the larger subunit of 70S Ribosomes found in prokaryotes.
   2. Subunits containing a single RNA molecule.
   3. The molecule has approximately 5S and 23S rRNA and 31 proteins.
   4. It is the site for antibiotics inhibition.
