Functional Characterization of Some Ribosomal Proteins from Wheat Germ

Detailed study of the topography and properties of ribosomal proteins may greatly facilitate elucidation of the function of ribosomes during the translational process. Although the basic mode of action and the structural architecture of eukaryotic ribosomes is similar to that of bacterial ribosomes, they are of higher complexity and differ significantly in a number of their structural components.
