Other Factors for Ribosome Heterogeneity

[cataliesw]

For a long time, it was believed that the biochemical composition and function of all ribosomes in cells were fixed. However, recent studies have found that ribosomes are variable in both composition and function, that is, ribosomal heterogeneity. However, the biochemical basis of heterogeneous ribosomes and the molecular mechanisms underlying their functional differences remain to be explored.
