Usage Examples
Adjective modifier
- 70s: Forms a bridge to the 50s subunit in the 70s ribosome, contacting the 23s rrna.
- bacterial: For example, tetracycline binds to bacterial ribosomes, which make proteins, and in doing so hinders protein production.
- eukaryotic: Recently ( Feb 2006 ) I joined Prof C.V. Robinson's mass spectrometry group to continue structural investigation of eukaryotic ribosomes.
- mitochondrial: Mitochondrial ribosomes are the 70S ( bacterial ) type, in contrast to the 80S ribosomes found elsewhere in the cell.
- whole: Whole ribosomes and their individual subunits can be crystallized in the same way as proteins.
Converse of object
- have: The rough ER is labeled as such because it has ribosomes adhering to its outer surface, whereas the smooth ER does not.
- call: LANL's ASC Q Machine has been used for biological research into the creation of proteins with a cellular factor called a ribosome.
- bind: These proteins are extruded into the lumen of the E.R. as they are synthesized by ribosomes bound to docking proteins on the cytoplasmic surface.
- associate: Smooth ER has no ribosomes associated with it and is involved in lipid and sterol synthesis.
- isolate: Ribosomes isolated from these strains behaved essentially like wild-type ribosomes in the presence of drug.
- attach: The proteins synthesized on ribosomes attached to the ER, are then transported to the Golgi, and packaged for secretion.
Converse of subject
- synthesize: Index to Course Material Index to Section 4 The destination of proteins synthesized by ribosomes obviously depends on their function.
- translate: Our research interests focus on understanding the process by which genetic information is translated by the ribosome into protein.
Modifies a noun
- display: During the year, CAT has refined its proprietary ribosome display system.
- entry: A single nucleotide change in the c-myc internal ribosome entry segment leads to enhanced binding of a group of protein factors.
- structure: Now that the ribosome structure is known, antibiotics could in principle be designed to latch onto it.
- system: During the year, CAT has refined its proprietary ribosome display system.
- biogenesis: Nucleolar components involved in ribosome biogenesis cycle between the nucleolus and nucleoplasm in interphase cells.
- subunit: Where are proteins of the large ribosome subunit located?
Preposition: in
- cytoplasm: Translation Messenger RNA then passes out of the nucleus and travels to small structures called ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
