Six proteins (B-L1, B-L6, B-L10, B-L11, B-L12 and B-L16) were removed from 50S ribosomal subunits of Bacillus stearothermophilus by treatment with ethanol and ammonium chloride. The proteins were isolated in a pure form, and one of them (B-L6) was crystallized. Five of the six proteins (in various combinations) were added back to the core particles, resulting in 50S subunits lacking one protein. The biological activities of these ribosomal particles as determined in the poly(U)-system varied over a wide range, depending on the protein which was omitted. The particles lacking one protein provide useful tools for heavy-atom derivation necessary for our crystallographic studies on the 50S subunits of Bacillus stearothermophilus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
