The function and structural characteristics of conserved regions within Escherichia Coli small subunit ribosomal RNA

Almehdi, Mirza A. (1991-09-10)

Ribosomes are multicomponent macromolecular particles and are essential for the survival of cells in all organisms. The ribosome's universal function is to catalyze polypeptide synthesis through translation of mRNA tr ...
Oligoribonucleotides directed at ribosomal protein binding sites as inhibitors of ribosomal small subunit assembly and as possible antibiotics

Thompson, Cynthia Sue (2000-05-03)

The effects of oligoribonucleotides of identical or similar sequences to a ribosomal protein binding site, specifically S8, on prokaryotic 30S ribosomal assembly were investigated in Escherichia coli. The oligoribonucl ...
