Question

which element are necessary to stabilize ribosomes?
a)Mn
b)Ni
c)Mo
d)Mg

Answer 1

I think option A is the right answer

Answer 2

Element necessary to stabilize ribosomes is d) Mg.

• Mg2+ ion brings the union of the two ribosomal subunits.
• The union of two ribosomal subunits for prokaryotes the 50S and 30S ribosomal subunits to make 70S ribosomes is induced by Mg2+ ion.
• The concentration of Mg required is 15mM.
• If the concentration of Mg ion is less than 1mM then it causes the dissociation of the two subunits.
