1953年GeorgePalade用电镜研究动物细胞的超微结构时,观察到一种不透电子的碱性大分子颗粒,其大小约100—250,同年Robinson和Brown用电镜在植物细胞中也发现了这种颗粒。通过分析发现这种颗粒是由核酸和蛋白质所构成。1958年Roberts建议命名为“Ribosome”(核糖核蛋白体,简称核蛋白体或核糖体)。 In 1953 GeorgePalade studied the ultrastructure of animal cells by electron microscopy, observing an opaque, basic, macromolecular particle about 100-250 in size, also found by electron microscopy by Robinson and Brown in plant cells in the same year Granules. Through the analysis found that the particles are composed of nucleic acids and proteins. In 1958, Roberts suggested that it be named “Ribosome” (ribosomal protein or ribosome).
