This is a 3D computer graphic model of a ribosome. Ribosomes are composed of protein and RNA. They consist of subunits that fit together and work as one to translate mRNA (messenger RNA) into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis (translation).
The azimuth originates at true North. The azimuth originates form the north point. It is a measure of how far an object is form the observer's north point.
Azi-muth is an angle that describes the direction from one place to Figure 1. (a) Latitude and longitude are the indicated angles. The point of interest is the solid circle. (b) Azimuth is the angle from the meridian (north)clockwise to the point of interest.
