ribozomy
Ribozomy is not a widely used term in contemporary biology. In scholarly literature, there is no defined entity known as a ribozomy, and the term does not correspond to an established ribonucleoprotein complex. When encountered in non-specialist texts or speculative writing, ribozomy is sometimes used as a neologism to discuss the combined concept of RNA-based catalysis (ribozyme activity) with ribosome-like macromolecular assemblies, or more generally to denote RNA-centered macromolecular structures that might participate in translation-like processes. Because the term lacks a standard definition, its meaning is highly variable and defined by context.
In principle, if a concept called ribozomy were to be formalized, it might refer to an RNA-driven
