The efficiency and specificity of RNA-protein cross-linking in the 30S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosomes, induced by low-intensity (10(15) photons cm-2 s-1, 254 nm) and high-intensity [(1.6-6.8) X 10(24) photons cm-2 s-1, 266 nm, pulse duration 10(-8) s] ultraviolet radiation, are studied.

All the proteins tested are cross-linked as a result of a single-hit process; proteins S3 and S21 were cross-linked at the highest rate.

An equimolar mixture of 0-methylhydroxylamine and bisulfite causes complete disappearance of the cross-links.
