RESEARCHERS WATCH RNA MACHINES WORKING

Researchers have reported that they are the first to observe the dynamic, ratchet-like movements of single ribosomal molecules in the act of building proteins from genetic blueprints--reports
ScienceDaily.

The astonishing accuracy and complexity of the system is ahown in another ScienceDaily article, which describes how it not only selects the right molecules but can reject wrong ones, even discriminating between ones that are little different.

Life's superb machinery at work.
