Yes, very much so. Ribosomes in prokaryotes use a slightly different process to produce proteins than do ribosomes in eukaryotes. Fortunately, this difference presents a window of molecular attack by antibiotic drugs such as streptomycin.
Unfortunately, some bacterial toxins and the polio virus also use it to enable them to attack the
translation mechanism in our cells.
What else can I help you with?
The sites of protein synthesis are?
Protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which can be found in the cytoplasm of a cell. In eukaryotic cells, proteins can also be synthesized on ribosomes located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Do ribosomes use L or D amino acids for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes use L amino acids for protein synthesis.
Which part of a cell is the site of protein synthesis?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum(RER) is the site of protein synthesis ;while Ribosomes are the structures that synthesize the protein.
What is the site for protein-synthesis?
The site for protein synthesis is a cell structure. The specific structure in which synthesis occurs is the ribosomes, which is in the cytoplasm.
True or False Do Ribosomes carry out lipid synthesis?
False. Ribosomes do not carry out lipid synthesis. Lipid synthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles within the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
If a toxin such as a bacterial toxin destroys ribosomes what cellular activity will be affected first?
Protein synthesis will be the cellular activity affected first if ribosomes are destroyed by a toxin. Ribosomes are responsible for translating mRNA into proteins, so their destruction would impair the cell's ability to produce essential proteins for various cellular functions.
What do cell use ribosomes for?
Ribosomes are small ''protein factories'' for protein synthesis in cell. Therefore, cell use ribosomes for synthesis protein...
Is protein synthesis the same as ribosomes?
No, they are not the same thing. Ribosomes make proteins (protein synthesis).
Function of free ribosomes?
Protein synthesis is taken place. Ribosomes provide surface for it
What does the ribosomes function in?
Protein synthesis is the process done by ribosomes. Ribosomes provide surface to synthesis.
Structure responsible for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, are responsible for protein synthesis.
What is the role of rRNA the protein synthesis?
it hold the protein synthesis in the ribosomes
Where does the protein synthesis take place?
On the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cellRibosomes
The ribosomes are responsible for?
The ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes required for?
ribosomes are needed for protein synthesis.
What do the ribosomes job?
They provide surface for protein synthesis. They are the sites of protein synthesis.
What is the center of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes play important role in the protein synthesis.
