Methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins of Escherichia coli: methylated at three sites in a single tryptic fragment.

abstract：:The association-dissociation kinetics of ribosomes from Escherichia coli have been studied under various conditions in a light-scattering stopped-flow apparatus. The dissociation reaction at 2 mg/ml at 25 degrees C, induced by lowering the MgCl2 concentration from 18 to 3 mM, can best be described by three independent...
