   Polysome
   `Polyribosomes` (or `polysomes`) are a cluster of ribosomes, bound to an mRNA molecule, first discovered and characterized by Jonathan Warner, Paul Knopf, and Alex Rich in 1963. Polyribosomes read this mRNA simultaneously, helping to synthesize the same protein at different spots on the mRNA, mRNA being the `messenger` in the process of protein synthesis. They may appear as clusters, linear arrays, or rosettes in routine: this is aided by the fac...
