Summary

One- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was employed to characterize and compare ribosomal subunit proteins from wild-type D. melanogaster and several mutants, including suppressor-offorked and four X-linked cold sensitive lethals. The sibling species D. simulans was also studied. We found the electropherogram patterns indistinguishable in all cases.
