Ribosomes
Prokaryotes:
- 70S = 50S (large subunit) & 30S (small subunit)
- 50S = 23S and 5S with 31 proteins
- 30S = 16S with 21 proteins
- 3’ end of the 16S rRNA is important in recognition of the 5’ end of mRNA
Eukaryotes:
- 80S = 60S and 40S
- 60S = 28S, 5.8S, and 50 proteins
- 40S = 18S and 33 proteins
