Translation complexes are stabilised in vivo using formaldehyde. Cells are lysed, and cell extracts are treated with RNase I to produce protected RNA fragments (FPs or footprints). Extracts are then run through sucrose gradients to separate small ribosomal subunits and full ribosomes. FPs are isola...
