Abstract

The dimeric tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase from beef pancreas has been found to activate 2 tryptophans/mol enzyme [Eur. J. Biochem. (1982) 128, 389-398]. By using quenched-flow and stopped-flow methods under presteady-state conditions, we show that only one enzyme subunit operates at a time in the aminoacylation of tRNATrp and that the transfer reaction is not the rate-limiting step in the overall aminoacylation process.
