| Subunits of the ribosome | |
|
| The large and small subunits of the bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes are shown schematically, both as the complete 70S and 80S particles and as the large (50S and 60S) and small (30S and 40S) subunits of which they are composed. The RNA components and approximate number of protein components are listed beneath each subunit. nts = nucleotides. |
