Unveiling the Formation of Nature's Fundamental Molecule

New high-resolution images of the large ribosomal subunit have provided insights into the assembly of one of nature's most fundamental molecules, ribosomes, in human cells. The study used cryo-electron microscopy to capture the formation and maturation of the human large ribosomal subunit (60S) and identified various proteins and enzymes that interact with RNA elements during the assembly process. The findings offer a near-complete picture of how the human large subunit assembles and could have implications for understanding cellular metabolism and diseases linked to ribosome mutations.
