Abstract

Eight ribosomal proteins, L9, L11, L15, L17, L18, L19, L23, and L29, have been localized on the surface of the 50S subunit from Escherichia coli by immunoelectron microscopy. The specificity of the antibody binding site was demonstrated by stringent absorption experiments. For each protein, the antibody attachment site was localized on the two characteristic views of the 50S subunit. Thus, each protein could be located in a confined region on the three-dimensional structural model of the 50S subunit.
