One of the ribosomal proteins (30S-8B) of Escherichia coli B has a greater electrophoretic mobility than the homologous protein (30S-8K) in E. coli K. The amino acid compositions, tryptic peptides, and cyanogen bromide peptides of these two homologous proteins unambiguously indicate that the genetic locus which determines the electrophoretic mobility of protein 30S-8 is the structural gene for this protein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
