Ribosome, artwork C015 / 6780
Computer artwork of a ribosome. Ribosomes are protein particles that are found in cell cytoplasm. Each ribosome has a large and a small subunit. Messenger ribonucleic acid passes between the two subunits and provides the instructions for the assembly of a protein (polypeptide) chain from amino acids. The mRNA originates in the cells nucleus, and is a copy of the information coded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The process of protein synthesis from mRNA in ribosomes is known as translation. Different sequences of mRNA produce different proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a ribosome, depicted through computer artwork. Ribosomes are essential protein particles found in the cytoplasm of cells. Composed of a large and small subunit, these molecular machines play a crucial role in protein synthesis. The mesmerizing image captures the dynamic nature of ribosomes as messenger RNA (mRNA) passes between their two subunits. This mRNA carries instructions encoded in DNA from the cell's nucleus, serving as a blueprint for assembling amino acids into polypeptide chains – the building blocks of proteins. Translation, as this process is known, occurs within ribosomes and is responsible for producing diverse proteins by utilizing different sequences of mRNA. This biochemical dance unfolds within every single cell, enabling life-sustaining functions and contributing to an organism's complexity. Through this stunning computer artwork, we gain insight into the fascinating world of cytology and biochemistry. The cutout style emphasizes the structural intricacies while highlighting key components such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and synthesizing machinery. This remarkable piece by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY invites us to marvel at the elegant choreography occurring on a microscopic scale – where molecules come together to create life itself. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding cellular processes and a testament to human creativity in visually representing scientific concepts.
