title: Differential partitioning of tRNAs between micellar and aqueous phases: a convenient gel filtration method for separation of tRNAs.
abstract: Partition coefficients (Kp) of phenylalanine, glutamic acid-II and tyrosine tRNAs between water and micellar cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTACl) have been determined to be 5600, 520 and 3100, respectively, by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100-120. Equations for obtaining Kp values from quantitative gel filtration have also been derived. The use of this method for the separation of tRNAs is demonstrated.
