Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

α-Factor inhibits incorporation of [14C]glucosamine into water-soluble and into SDS-extractable glycoproteins to about 90%. The incorporation into chitin is not affected and the same is true for [14C]phenylalanine incorporation into protein. The inhibition of glycoprotein synthesis is specific for a cells.
