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 oligoribonucleotides were expected to bind to the target protein S8 and block its incorporation into the 30S subunit, resulting in a nonfunctional...
