Synthetic ribosome explained
Synthetic ribosomes are artificial small-molecules that can synthesize peptides in a sequence-specific matter.[1]
David Alan Leigh's lab built synthetic ribosome using a chemical structure based on a rotaxane.[2]
The Cédric Orelle research group created ribosomes with tethered and inseparable subunits (or Ribo-T).[3]
