Abstract OR-15: Structural and Functional Studies of the Staphylococcus aureus Ribosome Hibernation
Background: In bacteria, diminishing of protein synthesis is often accompanied with the formation of ribosomal dimers (or disomes).This process might be particularly important for pathogenic bacteria whose successful survival is a key factor for successful infection.Ribosome hibernation is driven by the binding of small stress-induced protein(s) to
