One paper describes the preparatory scale methods for the reversed-phase chromatography systems for transfer ribonucleic acids. Another paper discusses the determination of adenosine- and aminoacyl adenosine-terminated sRNA chains by ion-exclusion chromatography. One paper notes that the problems involved in preparing acetylaminoacyl-tRNA are similar to those found in peptidyl-tRNA synthesis, in particular, to the lability of the ester bond between the amino acid and the tRNA. Another paper explains a new method that will attach fluorescent dyes to cytidine residues in tRNA; it also notes the possible use of N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of dansylglycine and N-methylanthranilic acid in the described method. One paper explains the use of membrane filtration in the determination of apparent association constants for ribosomal protein-RNS complex formation. This collection is valuable to bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, developmental biologists, and investigators working with enzymes.
