Molecular Biology
80s ribosomes are a type of ribosome found in eukaryotic cells, which are crucial for protein synthesis. They are composed of two subunits: a larger 60s subunit and a smaller 40s subunit, and they play a central role in translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. This structure distinguishes them from prokaryotic ribosomes, which are smaller (70s), emphasizing the differences in cellular machinery between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
congrats on reading the definition of 80s ribosomes. now let's actually learn it.
