... that tissues from the polar zoarcid possess cold-adapted protein synthesis machineries, indicated by low activation energies and, especially, high RNA translational capacities at similar RNA:protein ratios when compared to temperate zoarcids at 10°C. When both species were brought to 5°C, the temperate species...

..., RNA:protein ratios and RNA translational efficiencies in the Antarctic limpet Nacella concinna at four times of the year. From summer to winter, protein synthesis rates decreased by 52%, RNA concentrations decreased by 55% and RNA:protein ratios decreased by 68%, while RNA translational efficiencies were low...
