Biology:Synthetic ribosome

From HandWiki

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]
