Abstract
We have studied Mg+ enforced ribosomal subunit association by time-resolved cryo-EM, and found several intermediates states that indicate the existence of multiple pathways. One of these is very rapid (~10 ms), the others are in the range of hundreds of ms. The results can be rationalized on the basis of electrostatic interactions and bridge formations between subunits incubated with Mg+ ions.
