title: 5'-adenosine monophosphate inhibits ternary complex formation by rat liver eIF-2.
abstract: The initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) was purified from rat liver essentially to homogeneity. The effect of physiological concentrations of AMP on ternary complex formation by eIF-2 was tested. It is shown that AMP inhibits ternary complex formation (ca. 50% at 100 microM AMP). None of the other adenine-nucleotides tested (ADP, ATP, cAMP, NADH, NAD+ and NADPH) affected ternary complex formation.
