Abstract excerpt
Functional Escherichia coli 50S ribosomal subunits can be reconstituted from their natural rRNA and protein components. However, when the assembly is performed with in vitro-transcribed 23S rRNA, the reconstitution efficiency is diminished by four orders of magnitude. We tested a variety of chemical chaperones (compounds that are typically used for protein folding), putative RNA chaperones (proteins) and...
