Abstract: | A bovine myocardial cell-free system, active in polyphenylalanine synthesis, has been studied. When Ca2+ was present under suboptimal Mg2+ concentrations (2 and 5 mM) a marked stimulation of the poly(U) directed macromolecular synthesis was obtained. Calcium did not stimulate the aminoacylation of bovine heart tRNAPhe The evidence suggests that calcium is required, in conjunction with other cations, for an efficient translation of synthetic polynucleotides. |
