Bacterial ribosome and protein synthesis
Bacterial ribosome and protein synthesis. Molecular model showing a bacterial ribosome reading an mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) strand (blue) and synthesising a protein. Ribosomes are composed of protein and RNA (ribonucleic acid). They are the site of translation, the process of protein synthesis. In bacteria each ribosome consists of a small (30S) subunit and a large (50S) subunit. They are also a target for antibiotic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of bacterial ribosome and protein synthesis. The molecular model depicted here presents a bacterial ribosome diligently reading an mRNA strand, which is colored in a striking shade of blue. As the ribosome reads this messenger ribonucleic acid, it undertakes the crucial task of synthesizing proteins. Ribosomes are remarkable structures composed of both protein and RNA components. They serve as the site for translation, which is the fundamental process responsible for protein synthesis. In bacteria, each ribosome consists of two subunits: a small 30S subunit and a large 50S subunit. The significance of these ribosomes extends beyond their role in cellular processes; they also become targets for antibiotic drugs. This makes them even more intriguing from a scientific standpoint. The white background enhances the clarity and focus on this illustration's details, allowing viewers to appreciate its complexity fully. With elements from biology, chemistry, genetics, and molecular biology seamlessly intertwined within this artwork by 3dciencia, it serves as a visual representation that bridges multiple disciplines. Captured by Ramón Andrade from Science Photo Library, this image exemplifies how art can be used to convey complex scientific concepts effectively while simultaneously captivating our imagination with its beauty and intricacy.
