摘要: The interaction of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and Ts (EF-Ts) from Escherichia coli has been investigated by kinetic methods. It was found that EF-Ts purified on an EF-Tu affinity column contained a transphosphorylase activity which could transfer the gamma-phosphate GTP to [3H]GDP. However, this showed different sensitivities heat N-ethylmaleimide compared activity. Using chromophoric GDP analogue, 2-amino-6-mercaptopurine riboside 5'-diphosphate (thioGDP), spectrophotometric titrations stopped-flow experiments enabled X thioGDP with be investigated. results were analyzed according scheme Chau et al.
