W.J.C. Amesz scite author profile

The dissociation of free ribosomes at elevated concentrations of KCl is dependent on hydrostatic pressure. The pressure necessary for the dissociation is determined for KCl concentrations ranging from 0.1-0.4 M. It varies between 425 kg cm(-2) at 0.1 M and 10 kg cm(-2) at 0.4 M. The partial dissociation of complex ribosomes in KCl is dependent on hydrostatic pressure in the same way as the complete dissociation of free ribosomes. Therefore, it is concluded that mRNA and peptidyl-tRNA do not contribute to the stability of the ribosome under these conditions.

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.
