Comments P.514 left column top paragraph: "The bacterial (and archaeal) small (30S) subunit contains the 16S rRNA and 21 r-proteins (Escherichia coli), whereas the eukaryotic small subunit contains the 18S rRNA and 32 r-proteins (Saccharomyces cerevisiae although the numbers vary between species). The bacterial large (50S) subunit contains the 5S and 23S rRNAs and 34 r-proteins (E. coli), with the eukaryotic large subunit containing the 5S, 5.8S and 25S/28S rRNAs and 46 r-proteins (S. cerevisiae again, the exact numbers vary between species)."
