Along with other scientists, Palade discovered that ribosomes performed protein synthesis in cells, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1974 for his work. Each ribosome has a large component and a small component that together form a single unit composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and dozens of proteins.
Where did protein synthesis come from?
Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins. For example, rapidly growing cells usually have a large number of ribosomes (Figure 5).
Who proposed a model for the process of protein synthesis?
Beadle and Tatum proposed the "one gene one enzyme hypothesis" for which they won the Nobel Prize in 1958. Since the chemical reactions occurring in the body are mediated by enzymes, and since enzymes are proteins and thus heritable traits, there must be a relationship between the gene and proteins.
