For 10 points, name these organelles that are mostly comprised of their namesake RNA, and which are responsible for synthesizing proteins.
Ramakrishnan, Yonath, and Steitz used X-ray crystallography to study this organelle. Bacteria often contain the poly- form of these organelles, which can be separated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Tetracycline and aminoglycoside antibiotics work by inhibiting this organelle. The large subunit of this organelle, which in Eukaryotes weights 60 svedberg units, contains A, P and E sites, which tRNA shuttles through during the process of translation.
