Chapter 11, Problem 17P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The location of erythromycin in the mitten is to be identified if the $\text{50S}$ ribosomal subunit is compared to a mitten.

Concept introduction:

Ribosomes refer to a complex molecule composed of protein and RNA. In the order given by messenger RNA $\left(\text{mRNA}\right)$ , ribosomes join amino acids together. They have two essential features, which are the ribosomal subunits of smaller size and of the larger size, that link amino to form the polypeptide chain.
