The Dependence of Cell-Free Protein Synthesis in E. coli upon RNA Prepared from Ribosomes
Description:
In this article, the work for which was supported by a NATO post-doctoral fellowship, Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei reveal their stable cell-free system in which their protein synthesis studies would culminate with the landmark poly-U experiments. Here, Nirenberg and Matthaei present their finding that incorporation of amino acids into protein is dependent on the addition of ribosomal RNA preparations.
