title: Characterization of wheat germ initiation factor eIF-2.
abstract: The initiation factor eIF-2 that specifically binds Met-tRNAf and GTP in ternary complex (eIF-2. GTP. Met-tRNAf) has been purified to apparent homogeneity from wheat germ ribosomal salt wash. The purified factor exhibits a sedimentation coefficient of 5 X 5S and an aggregate molecular weight of 122,000-daltons for the native protein.
