Abstract
IN conditions of polypeptide chain initiation, 70S ribosomes bind to intact bacteriophage RNA predominantly at the initiation region of the coat protein cistron1,2. The binding sites of the A protein and RNA polymerase cistrons are fully available only after modification of the secondary or tertiary structure of the RNA2,3.
