Dm. Kim et al., EFFECT OF ZEOLITES ON PROTEIN-SYNTHESIS IN A CELL-FREE SYSTEM FROM ESCHERICHIA-COLI, Biotechnology letters, 17(10), 1995, pp. 1043-1046
The effects of zeolites on protein synthesis in a cell-free system wer
e investigated. The efficiency of protein synthesis was markedly enhan
ced upon the addition of zeolites to the reaction mixture. Pretreatmen
t of reaction mixture with the zeolite prior to the start of reaction
also stimulated the protein synthesis indicating that the effect is at
least partially due to the removal of inhibitory substance(s) from th
e reaction mixture.
