Organite cellulaire assemblé dans le noyau de la cellule, au niveau du nucléole par assemblage de protéines et d’ARN ribosomique. Ils interviennent dans la synthèse protéique en rapprochant à la fois l'ARN messager en traduction, les ARN de transfert portant les acides aminés et la chaîne protéique en élongation. 2, record 1, French, - ribosome

Protéine qui comporte en plus de la partie protéique, une partie non protéique ou groupement prosthétique. L'association de la partie non protéique se produit soit au cours de la biosynthèse pendant l'élongation de la chaîne polypeptidique(événement co-traductionnel), soit après terminaison de la chaîne(événement post-traductionnel). 2, record 2, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20conjugu%C3%A9e

Parmi les [...] protéines conjuguées, [...] mentionnons : les nucléoprotéines associées aux acides nucléiques, les glycoprotéines, les lipoprotéines (e.g., lipoprotéines sanguines) et les chromoprotéines qui possèdent un pigment comme groupement prosthétique (e.g., l’hémoglobine, l’hémocyanine et les cytochromes). L’hémoglobine et la myoglobine [...] contiennent un groupement prosthétique appelé hème, composé organique métallique qui se combine avec l’oxygène. 3, record 2, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20conjugu%C3%A9e
