Structure and Synthesis of Ribosomal RNA Describe the organization of ribosomal RNA operons in E. coli. Describe the synthesis, processing, and modification of rRNA's from procaryotes. Compare the number and structure of rRNA's from procaryotes and eucaryotes. Describe the synthesis, processing, and modification of rRNA's from eucaryotes. Compare the bacterial and cytoplasmic rRNA's to rRNA's from the chloroplast and mitochondrion.
Ribosome Structure Describe the protein and RNA composition of procaryotic ribosomes.
Describe the chemical and physical methods being used to determine the three dimensional structure of the E. coli ribosome. Describe the synthesis and assembly of ribosomes in bacteria. Explain how the assembly maps of the 30S and 50S subunits were determined. Describe the protein and RNA composition of eucaryotic ribosomes. Explain the synthesis and assembly of ribosomes in eucaryotes.
