Abstract

In this concluding chapter an attempt to formulate several general principles of the structure and function of the ribosome is undertaken. Our understanding of the ribosome is far from complete, and the formulations reflect only the current level of knowledge in this area. Concerning the ribosome structure, the principles formulated can be considered as a summary of factual information and its generalization, whereas the principles of the function are rather hypothetical and represent just plausible models. Nevertheless, this seems to be the first attempt to give a generalized conceptual vision of the ribosome and to coordinate the structure and the function. From both a scientific and educational point of view, such tentative formulations may be a useful appendix to the main course of experimental ribosomology.
