Functions
of
Ribosomes - Ribosomes take part in protein synthesis. Two or more ribosomes simultaneously engaged in protein synthesis on the same mRNA strand form polyribosomes.
The ribosome functions as a template, bringing together different components involved in the synthesis of proteins.
Interaction
of
the
tRNA-amino
acid
complex
with
mRNA,
which
brings
about
translation
of
the
genetic
code,
is
coordinated
by
the
ribosome.
Ribosomes also have a protective function. The mRNA strand which passes between the two subunits of the ribosome is protected from the action of the enzymes of the nucleus (nucleases).
