A Conundrum of r-Protein Stability: Unbalanced Stoichiometry of r-Proteins during Stationary Phase in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Bacterial ribosomes are composed of three rRNA and over 50 ribosomal protein (r-protein) molecules. r-proteins are essential for ribosome assembly and structural stability and also participate in almost all ribosome functions. Ribosomal components are present in stoichiometric amounts in th...
