Question

What is Swedsberg Unit? How is it associated with ribosomes?

Answer 1

swedsberg unit is the unit used for measuring the rate at which the macromolecule settles down when they are centrifuged .  
 
it is equal to 10^-3 second.
it is denoted by S
eg; 50S ribosome

Answer 2

♠️ $\huge\bold\green{HELLO}$♠️

Magnesium ions are required for association of ribosomal subunits. In the absence of magnesium ions, the formation will not be preceded.

Most of the ribosomal proteins are fall under the category of energy-consuming enzymes families. These enzymes require magnesium ions to activate these enzymes for the biogenesis of ribosomal subunits.

swedsberg unit is the unit used for measuring the rate at which the macromolecule settles down when they are centrifuged .

The Svedberg unit (Symbol S) is a measure of the sedimentation rate of a particle when centrifuged.

It is equal to 10^-3 second.

It is denoted by S

eg; 50S ribosome {50S is the larger subunit of the 70S ribosome of prokaryotes. It is the site of inhibition for antibiotics such as macrolides, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, and the pleuromutilins}
