Abstract

The protein biosynthesis system provides a very good illustration of the difficulties involved in studying the structure and function of a supramolecular assembly. The complexity of the system and the lack of appropriate experimental tools have forced those in the field to use methods which are less than ideally suited for the problems, as well as to develop new ones.
