Method | "To calculate the elongation rate, the Escherichia coli culture was induced with IPTG, and the time that elapsed between the appearance of a specific hybridization signal from probes complementary to the 5' and 3' segments of the lacZ transcript was determined by dotblot hybridization (Fig. 1 and fig. S1) (5, 6)." |
Comments | "In the absence of Cm (chloramphenicol), the transcription elongation rate was determined to be 42 nucleotides (nt) per second under specified growth conditions, matching a translation elongation rate of 14 amino acids per second (Table 1 and fig. S2)." |
