Question

Which chemical is involved in dissociation and Association of ribosome subunits?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lack of Mg2+ in growth medium for Escherichia coli induces ribosome degradation (4), and the association of ribosomal subunits to form 70S ribosomes is forced with Mg2+ concentrations above 15 mM (5, 6); lowering the Mg2+ concentrations down to 1 mM and below dissociates 70S ribosomes and finally unfolds them (7, 8).

Lack of Mg2+ in growth medium for Escherichia coli induces ribosome degradation (4), and the association of ribosomal subunits to form 70S ribosomes is forced with Mg2+ concentrations above 15 mM (5, 6); lowering the Mg2+ concentrations down to 1 mM and below dissociates 70S ribosomes and finally unfolds them (7, 8).
