For instance, the association ofprotein subunits into oligomer and the formation of protein-nucleic acid complex give anincrease in volume. The increase in volume in these processes mainly results from: (i) theformation of the dead space between the subunits of the oligomeric protein or the com-plexes in the processes mentioned above; (ii) the formation of salt bonds and (iii) theinteractions between hydrophobic groups. It is known from the Lechatelier principle that ifhigh pressure is applied to an equilibrium system mentioned above, the original展开更多

Analogs of yeast alanyl tRNA with A, G or C instead of m^1I_(37) were synthesized and their biological activities determined. The results indicated that the aminoacylation activity of these analogs was not affected in the rat liver aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase system, compared with natural yeast alanyl tRNA. However, the incorporation activity (i. e. the activity of transferring alanine into proteins) of these analogs was significantly reduced to 20—30% of that of natural yeast alanyl tRNA in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate cell-free protein synthesizing system.展开更多
