Unexpectedly Large Size of Globin Messenger Ribonucleic Acid

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The globin messenger RNA of rabbit reticulocytes is identified on the basis of its presence in polysomes, absence from single ribosomes, and sedimentation coefficient of 9 S. Analysis of this RNA by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels provides evidence that its size is unexpectedly large (approximately 650 nucleotides) for a messenger coding for the 141 and 146 amino acids of a globin polypeptide.
