We celebrate a book that changed the nation and eventually the world by giving a young black girl a voice, once lost then freed to sing the song of all people. Purchase This Book Today Â». We are pleased to continue the life work of Dr. Maya Angelou as 34 poems and materials were flown on the Orion Exploration Project. Dr. Maya Angelouâs desire to spread goodwill among and beyond the nations is realized and supported in this project.
Eukaryotic ribosomes have two unequal subunits, designated small subunit (40S) and large subunit (60S) according to their sedimentation coefficients. Both subunits contain dozens of ribosomal proteins arranged on a scaffold composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). The small subunit monitors the complementarity between tRNA anticodon and mRNA, while the large subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation.
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). Credit: Callista Images/Cultura/Getty Images
