GTP Expense at Codon-Specific Translation and During Misreading

  • Chapter
Metabolism and Enzymology of Nucleic Acids

Abstract

For a long time it was practically impossible to measure the stoichiometry of GTP hydrolysis during peptide synthesis proceeding on ribosomes, as ribosome preparations usually consist of no more than 10–50% active ribosomes. The other 50–90% of ribosomes in ribosome preparations are incapable of synthesizing peptide in vitro, but can carry out uncoupled with protein synthesis factor-dependent GTP hydrolysis. As yet there are no means of measuring correctly this uncoupled factor-dependent GTP hydrolysis.
