Electron microscopic autoradiography of rabbit reticulocytes active and inactive in protein synthesis.
Electron microscopic autoradiography indicates that only a fraction of ribosome-containing reticulocytes (from phenylhydrazine-treated rabbits) is capable of active protein synthesis in vitro. Ribosomes, and, indeed, polyribosomes, do not appear to limit the rate of protein synthesis.
