Description

Ribosomal Protein Yl16 is a highly purified protein component derived from the large ribosomal subunit, essential for protein biosynthesis. This compound is critical for fundamental research in molecular biology and structural studies of the ribosome's function and assembly. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focused on antibiotic discovery and understanding translational mechanisms.

Application

• Structural Biology Research: Used in X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies to elucidate the three-dimensional architecture of the ribosome.
• Antibiotic Mechanism Studies: Serves as a target for investigating how certain classes of antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.
• Ribosome Assembly & Biogenesis: Essential for in vitro reconstitution experiments to study the stepwise assembly of ribosomal subunits.
• Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis: Employed in pull-down assays, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to map interactions within the ribosomal complex.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity standard in proteomics and quality control for related recombinant protein production.
• Educational & Diagnostic Kit Development: Used in advanced life science teaching kits and as a component in specialized diagnostic assays for research purposes.
