Question
Draw rough sketches of interface views of both $50 \mathrm{~S}$ and $30 \mathrm{~S}$ ribosomal subunits. Point out the rough positions of tRNAs in the A, P, and E sites.
Step 1
The $50 \mathrm{~S}$ subunit is larger and has a more complex structure compared to the $30 \mathrm{~S}$ subunit, which is smaller and simpler. Use a rough oval or dome shape for each subunit. Show more…

Consider the ribosome below. In class we mentioned that you never see an assembled ribosome (large & small subunits together) as pictured here. You need an mRNA and a charged tRNA to initiate translation. Do the following ON THE DIAGRAM: Label the 3 sites on the ribosome. Draw a line representing the mRNA in the area where you would find it. Label the ends to indicate polarity.
$E$. coli ribosomes contain three RNA molecules named for their sedimentation behavior: $5 \mathrm{S}, 16 \mathrm{S},$ and $23 \mathrm{S}$. Draw a diagram showing the approximate positions of the three RNA species following electrophoresis.
