The orientation of the Ribonucleic Acid within Yeast Ribosomes Determined Electro-Optically.
Electro-optical birefringence and ultraviolet dichroism have been recorded from solutions of 80S yeast ribosomes. The sense of both of these effects is consistent with an orientation of the ribonucleic acid within a ribosome such that the plane of the purine and pyrimidine bases is predominantly parallel to the electric axis of the ribosome.
