Abstract

Two forms of Met-tRNA_f^Met binding factors (IF1A and IF1B) were seperated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. These two forms can be distinguished by the stabilities of their respective Met-tRNA_f^Met:IF1:GTP complexes to Mg⁺⁺. The Met-tRNA_f^Met:IF1B:GTP complex dissociates extensively in the presence of Mg⁺⁺ where as the Met-tRNA_f^Met:IF1A:GTP complex is distinctly more stable under similar conditions. The molecular weight of Met-tRNA_f^Met:IF1A:GTP complex as determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation is 160,000 and that of the Met-tRNA_f^Met:IF1B:GTP complex is 65,000.
