View source for Ribosome like chain assembly

{{stub}}
This is is about assembly metods that
* take in in raw more or less pre(self)assembled parts
* push out a chain that folds itself up into a bigger product

== Actual ribosomes ==

* Taken in are amino acids linked to much bigger TRNA handles
* Pushed out are protein chains that fold up right away (thermally driven)

Often (always?) membrane proteins assemble right away directly into a target lipid membrane. <br>
Btw: How do the chaperone folding helper proteins come close enough when there is quite a bit of obstruction by the ribosome?

== [[Foldamer printer]]s making parts bigger than their build volume ==

If the parts of the chain become too big to self-assemble in reasonable timescales [[nonthermal self assembly]] can be used. <br>
It seems this requires the parts to be linked together into a chain. <br>
But the parts are much bigger than simple amino acids here. The parts would be bigger stiff blocks of high geometry. <br>
So this could work more like folding up chain of via hinged linked cuboid (or other highly geometric) blocks.
