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 ...
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 ...
