摘要 |
Systems for measuring protein translation and methods for measuring overall translation activity in viable cells or subcellular compartments is disclosed. The methods identify general ribosomal activity, if desired at sub-cellular resolution, thereby providing a signal indicating the rate of any of the steps of protein synthesis selected from initiation, elongation, termination or recycling. The translation system can be used to identify translation modulators in high-throughput-screening (HTS). |
