How do chromatin and ribosomes work together?

Best Answers

Actually, there is no direct interaction between chromatine and ribosomes. Chromatine is DNA containing structure safely lying inside the nucleus. read more

As mentioned above, ribosomes are the molecular machines responsible for protein synthesis. A ribosome is made out of RNA and proteins, and each ribosome consists of two separate RNA-protein complexes, known as the small and large subunits. The large subunit sits on top of the small subunit, with an RNA template sandwiched between the two. read more

Ribosomes scan mRNA molecules to translate the information on mRNA into protein sequences. Briefly, information coded by DNA in chromatine is first transcribed into RNA by DNA dependent RNA polymerases in the nucleus, and then translated into protein by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. read more
