The synthesis of poly-4-thiouridylic acid and its effect on protein synthesis in a cell free system derived from rat liver
Department of Biological Chemistry, The Hebrew University Jerusalem, Israel
Received September 30, 1974. The synthesis of poly-4-thiouridylic acid by thiolation of poly-cytidylic acid is described. A quantitative thiolation was achieved without any cleavage of the phosphodiester bond. The inhibitory effect of the poly-4-thiouridylic acid on protein synthesis in a cell free system derived from rat liver was investigated.
