Abstract

Ribosomes facilitate protein biosynthesis in all living cells. They consist of two subunits composed of protein and RNA constituents. Ribosome biogenesis is insufficiently explored due to its complexity and, at the same time, supposed to be an attractive target for new antimicrobials. For both scientific and pharmaceutical purposes the use of fluorescently labeled ribosomes (fluorosomes) could be a valuable tool.
