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.
Free ribosomes freely float in the cytoplasm of the cell and the membrane-bound ribosomes bind to the nuclear membrane or to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosome function is vital for the production of proteins, or polypeptide chains, from the mRNA. ribosome is an internal component of a biological cell (known as organelles) that is responsible in assembling molecules of specific amino acid to form a certain protein molecule, which will be determined by the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule.
