The Bacterial Ribosome. The bacterial ribosome is a cytoplasmic nucleoprotein particle whose main function is to serve as the site of mRNA translation and protein synthesis. The ribosome has a mass of about 2.5 MDa, with RNA accounting for 2/3 of the mass.It consists of two subunits denoted 30S (small subunit) and 50S (large).uring protein synthesis a ribosome moves along an mRNA molecule, reading the codon and adding the correct amino acid (from the corresponding aminoacyl tRNA) to the growing protein. When a stop codon is reached,translation ceases, and the mRNA and protein are released.
Ribosomes are small structures within biological cells that function in protein synthesis. Proteins are essential for a huge range of activities within an organism, from catalyzing metabolic reactions and protecting against infection to providing shape and structure.ibosomes are small structures within biological cells that function in protein synthesis.
