Abstract
The author presents his recent experiments with the tryptophan-activating enzyme as further proof of his theory that the primary activation in the process of protein synthesis occurs by phosphorylation of the carboxyl end of the amino acid. Suggested intermediate steps involved which finally result in the sequential arranging of the amino acids and determine specific and unique features of a particular protein are given.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
