| - | The ribosome is an essential component of all living cells. It is responsible for translation of proteins using messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). Ribosomes are composed of both proteins and RNA known as ribosomal RNA (rRNA). There are three functional sites found within the ribosome that are essential for translation: the A, P, and E-sites. The A-site is responsible for recruiting the tRNA and the E-site is where the tRNA leaves from once the protein is removed in the P-site. The site of interest for this sandbox is the P-site, where the protein is removed from the tRNA and added to the growing chain of amino acids. Its primary component is the L5/5S rRNA complex. | + | The ribosome is an essential component of all living cells.
