The growing protein exits the ribosome through the polypeptide exit tunnel in the large subunit.

The newly synthesized protein needs full access to the large subunit to fold; this process may take a period of time (5 minutes for beta-galactosidase).

All allosteric binding sites are located in the large subunit of the enzyme.

Location of the protein components of the bacterial large ribosomal subunit.

Structure of the L15 protein in the large subunit of the bacterial ribosome.

The protein encoded by this gene is the largest subunit of the origin recognition complex.

In some proteobacteria and dinoflagellates, enzymes consisting of only large subunits have been found.

It interacts with both the large and small subunits of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

It is composed of two nonidentical subunits; one large subunit and 4 small ones.

The growing polypeptide leaves the ribosome through a narrow tunnel in the large subunit.
