Ribosome-2

•Along with other scientists, Palade discovered that ribosomes performed protein synthesis in cells, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1974 for his work.
•Each ribosome has a large component and a small component that together form a single unit composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and dozens of proteins.
•The ribosome is responsible for translating encoded messages from messenger RNA molecules to synthesize proteins from amino acids.
