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.
While we often use the word bearing the same way we use the word azimuth, that isnât technically correct. A bearing is described from North or South, and what angle to the East or West. So, we can say we are 20 degrees East of South or more commonly S 20 E. To put that in terms of an azimuth, we say 160 degrees.
