Publication: PROTEIN-SYNTHESIS IN RABBIT RETICULOCYTE LYSATES FREE OF HEMOGLOBIN
Abstract
The conditions under which the highest activity in rabbit reticulocyte lysates can be achieved have been studied by different investigators (1,2). Hemoglobin represents about 90% of the total protein in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The effect of the absence of hemoglobin deserves thus clarification. The present study shows that the activity of protein synthesis in hemoglobin-free rabbit reticulocyte lysate is higher than that of the control lysate.
