Selenomethionine and methionine in in vitro rabbit reticulocyte hemoglobin synthesis and in Escherichia coli tRNA aminoacylation

Creator:

McCoy, Kim Edward Monroe

Abstract:

Selenomethionine and methionine have been postulated to be similarly involved in protein synthesis. This thesis has evaluated this hypothesis from a molecular and genetic approach. Selenomethionine and methionine were incorporated into rabbit reticulocyte hemoglobin at the same rates and in equal quantities. Each methionine demonstrated competitive inhibition for its analog...
