Summary Escherichia coli and S a c c h a r o m y c e s cerevisiae ribosomal proteins were chemically iodinated with 12sI by chloramine T under conditions in which the proteins were denatured. The labelled proteins were subsequently separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with an excess of untreated ribosomal proteins from the same species. The iodination did not change the electrophoretic mobility of the proteins as shown by the pattern of spots in the stained gel slabs and their autoradiography. The 12sI radioactivity incorporated in the proteins was estimated by cutting o u t the gel spots from the two
