Abstract

This article presents an interesting and timely experiment that allows students in junior/senior level biochemistry to investigate the purine nucleotide requirements for protein synthesis in a relatively short time frame. The methods do not require any unusual equipment, though the use of radionucleotides (entirely warranted by the nature of the experiment) does require special care.
