GTP-stimulated Binding of Initiator-tRNA to Ribosomes directed by f2 Bacteriophage RNA

Nature volume 216, pages 1072–1076 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

Binding of formyl methionyl-tRNA to ribosomes, directed by RNA extracted from the f2 bacteriophage, is dependent upon initiation factors, GTP and the presence of the formyl group. Binding of f2 RNA to ribosomes is, however, independent of initiating factors, amino acyl-tRNA and GTP.
