Particular influence of leucine peptides on lysyl-transfer ribonucleic acid ligase formation in a mutant of Escherichia coli K-12

J Bacteriol. 1973 Dec;116(3):1477-8. doi: 10.1128/jb.116.3.1477-1478.1973.

Abstract

l-Leucine dipeptides can enhance lysyl-transfer ribonucleic acid ligase activity 15- to 20-fold in a mutant of Escherichia coli K-12. Evidence indicates the peptides act per se.
