title: Translation of mRNA for glutamate dehydrogenase and spectrophotometric procedure to follow the enzyme biosynthesis.
abstract: Heterogeneous poly (A)-mRNA fraction was isolated from rat liver microsomes using phenol-chloroform extraction, millipore filtration and poly (U)-agarose affinity chromatography. Obtained fractions were characterized with respect to their secondary structure and poly (A) content. Isolated poly (A)-mRNA fraction contained high template activity for glutamate dehydrogenase in cell-free systems with microsomes or polysomes. A spectrophotometric procedure to follow enzyme biosynthesis was also developed.
