Table 1. Activity and stalling efficiency of ribosomes expressing .
Techniques | Activity [%] | Stalling [%] |
---|---|---|
Co-precipitation | 21.2 ± 3.8 | 93.6 ± 4.7 |
Two-colour coincidence detection | 20.3 ± 7.7 | 84.7 ± 6.5 |
Two-colour colocalisation microscopy | 17.4 ± 3.3 | 85.0 ± 5.9 |
Activity and stalling efficiency were measured with co-precipitation, TCCD (analysis of >28 000 ribosomes) and two-colour colocalisation microscopy (analysis of >12 500 ribosomes). For each technique, a minimum of three independent experiments was performed. The given errors are absolute standard deviations calculated from the repetitive measurements.
