Ribosomal L12 stalks recruit elongation factors to speed protein synthesis in Escherichia coli
J. L. Hofmann, T. S. Yang, A. M. Sunol, R. N. Zia
The paper shows that ribosomal L12 subunits in E. coli increase translation rates by reducing diffusive search times for ternary complexes, but higher L12 copy numbers are not always beneficial for faster growth.
