PROTEIN SYNTHESIS BY RETICULOCYTE RIBOSOMES, I. INHIBITION OF POLYURIDYLIC ACID-INDUCED RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN SYNTHESIS BY CHLORAMPHENICOL

Abstract
An inhibitory effect of chloramphenicol on protein synthesis by rabbit reticulocyte ribosomes is described. This inhibition occurred only in the presence of added "messenger"or template RNA. The possibility that chloramphenicol may inactivate template RNA is discussed.
