VOLUME XX. Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis (Part C)

Available here.

"Since the publication of the previous two volumes of "Methods in Enzymology" dealing with nucleic acids, this field of research has seen continued and rapid development. In order to maintain a comprehensive coverage of pertinent methodology for workers in the biological sciences, this compilation is extended in the form of two additional volumes: Volume 20, "Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis," Part C, and Volume 21, "Nucleic Acids," Part D. Part C deals with areas of protein synthesis in which nucleic acids play an integral role. Portions of this volume are devoted to the preparation and the chemical and biological properties of tRNA; to the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide chains in translation; to the structure and function of ribosomes; and to the synthesis of characterizable proteins in vitro. We dedicate this volume to the late Dr. Richard Schweet who pioneered in many of these findings."
