Peptide chains grow based on their linear and chemical nature believes that amino acids are added in a sequential manner, beginning at one end of the chain and progressing progressively to the other end. In a less ordered scenario, peptides portions develop randomly on the template before condensing into a single chain. We don't know much about the characteristics of the templates employed in protein synthesis yet, and we can't rule out a range of complex growth methods.
For example, If the template's substructure is folded or coiled in a regular pattern, for example, it's possible that short, evenly spaced bits of peptide chain are made first on the parts of the template that are most accessible to the external solution, and the intervening bits are added at a slower rate later. Furthermore, nothing is known regarding the binding types.
We can't assume that chain expansion is unidirectional if we hold the activated amino acids to the template shortly before peptide bond formation. It's possible that chain growth starts at both the amino and carboxyl ends and works its way towards the center, or that it starts in the middle and works its way to both ends.
The objective is to generate an analytical technique that can offer enough data to rule out the vast majority of incorrect models and, if possible, reduce the field to a single correct model.
In theory, analyzing both newly created protein molecules and the ribosome templates on which they are reportedly formed should yield information on the actual methods of protein assembly. However, fractionating all ribosomes involved in the production of a single protein molecule from a cellular extract is not practicable. If a cell type exists that is only responsible for the production of a single type of protein molecule, all ribosomes in that cell would likely have fragments of that protein molecules.
In recent years, the method by which proteins are created has been the subject of great speculation. Some published speculative models propose simultaneous bond formation between all neighboring activated amino acids on a preloaded template.
Others propose several methods for sequentially adding amino acids to a developing polypeptide chain. Others propose several methods for sequentially adding amino acids to a polypeptide chain that is gradually increasing. Furthermore, all degrees of exchange between amino acids already incorporated into developing peptide chains on the template and various classes of "active" precursor amino acids in solution have been suggested.
The use of two separate isotopic labels to acquire quantitative data on the amount of radioactivity in each peptide solves the difficulty of collecting quantitative data on the amount of radioactivity in each peptide. Hsleucine was used for short incubations, while C'4-leucine was used for very lengthy incubations. The extremely long incubations were thought to produce hemoglobin with homogeneous specific activity in each location of the leucine chain. The H3- and C'4-labeled preparations were mixed and carried through the stages of digestion, electrophoresis and chromatography together. The ratio of H3 to C'4 was taken as a measure of the amount of label in each peptide obtained from the short time incubations. This method gave an internal standardization automatically correcting both for the differential losses and for the different number of leucine residues in the peptides.
The rate of incorporation of C'4-leucine into hemoglobin decreased progressively with temperature until it reached a point about 100, after which point it abruptly ended.
