Assembly of the small (30S) and large (50S) ribosomal subunits is a key initiation step in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) translation in bacteria. The presence of an anti-sense oligonucleotide complementary to these key sites in mRNA can prevent ribosomal subunit assembly, thus preventing translation.
