Illustration of a ribosome as a glass surface model with indicated deeper ribbon model on a dark background. Ribosomes are macromolecular complexes in the cytoplasm of cells where proteins are produced. Ribosomes translate the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA into the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain of a protein. The illustration is based on structural data by Voorhees, R.M., Weixlbaumer, A., Loakes, D., Kelley, A.C., Ramakrishnan, V., by medicalgraphics/F1online
