Protein Synthesis - Jones & Bartlett Learning

required for all the steps of protein synthesis. 8.1 FIGURE 8.1 shows the relative dimensions of the components of the protein synthetic appa-ratus. The ribosome consists of two subunits that have specific roles in protein synthesis. Messen-ger RNA is associated with the small subunit; ∼30 bases of the mRNA are bound at any time. ................
