Question

What are the 2 subunits of 80S Ribosomes?

Answer 1

Types of subunits of 80S Ribosomes:

1. Eukaryotic (the 80S) ribosomes sediment more quickly than prokaryotic (70S) ribosomes, they are also known as 80S ribosomes, which refer to their Svedberg unit sedimentation coefficients.
2. Small 40S subunits:
   1. It is the smaller subunit of 80S Ribosomes found in eukaryotes.
   2. Subunits containing a single RNA molecule.
   3. The molecule has approximately 18S rRNA and 30-48 proteins.
3. Large 60S subunits:
   1. It is the larger subunit of 80S Ribosomes found in eukaryotes, subunits containing RNA molecules.
   2. The molecule has approximately 28S rRNA and 46 proteins.
