A complex of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule on which ribosomes (ribosomal RNA; rRNA) are anchored. A number of ribosomes bound to only a single mRNA molecule. One mRNA molecule hence functions as a template for a number of polypeptide chains at one time.
A group of ribosomes on a single mRNA molecule.
A structure that occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and consists of a group of ribosomes linked together by messenger RNA molecules: formed during protein synthesis.
A group of ribosomes working together to synthesize proteins.
A cluster or group of ribosomes. They are the site of attachment for mRNA in the cytoplasm and the translation of genetic information into the synthesis of specific proteins.
