ribosomes

I mean, the chemistry prize was for something called ribosomes, which is an important piece of the machinery that makes proteins in cells.

Nobel Prizes Awarded At Elaborate Ceremony 2009

The RNA carrying the genetic information was first believed to be the RNA in ribosomes; for several years the hypothesis was formulated as "one gene-one ribosome-one protein".

Advanced Information: The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2006

To my satisfaction, these predictions were proven wrong, the ribosomes are alive and kicking (so am I) and their high resolution structures stimulated more advanced studies as well as the imagination of many youngsters, including my granddaughter, Noa, who is showing continuous interest, and invited me at the ages of 5 and 13 to explain to her classes what the ribosome is.

All living things use an assembly of proteins and RNA molecules called ribosomes to build proteins according to the sequence of the genes.

In our cells, RNA is used to ferry information between DNA, which contains the genetic code, and machines called ribosomes that make proteins.

According to the central dogma of molecular biology, information encoded in the DNA of the genome is copied by messenger RNA and then carried to subcellular structures called ribosomes, where the instructions are used to assemble proteins.
