Molecular 'Ratcheting' Of Single Ribosome Molecules Observed In Act Of Building Proteins

Researchers have reported that they are the first to observe the dynamic, ratchet-like movements of single ribosomal molecules in the act of building proteins from genetic blueprints. The study reveals a key mechanism in the interplay of molecules that allows cells to build the proteins needed to sustain life.
