Preferential synthesis of a membrane-associated protein by free polyribosomes.
Isolated free polyribosomes from rat liver appear to synthesize NADPH-cytochome c reductase in vitro four times as efficiently as do membrane-bound polyribosomes. The observed synthesis by the latter could result from contamination with free polyribosomes, but an alternative explanation is also suggested.
