Abstract excerpt
A single base change in 16S rRNA (C726 to G) has previously been shown to have a dramatic effect on protein synthesis in E. coli (1). This paper more specifically details the effects of the mutation on mRNA binding and translation-termination. The in vitro technique of toeprinting (2) was used to demonstrate that 30S subunits containing the mutation 726G had an altered binding affinity for mRNA by comparison to...
