Equations are presented for determination of elongation rate in vivo for a heterogeneous population of polypeptide chain molecular weights. The distribution of pulse-labeled polypeptide chains in rat liver deoxycholate-soluble protein was obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis an used to compute a theoretical curve for determination of synthesis time of a 50,000 molecular weight polypeptide chain (tc50). Values of Tc50 for normal and thyroparathyroidectomized Long-Evans male rats were 1.2 and 1.75 min, respectively, representing protein synthetic rates of about 7.5 and 5.1 mg protein/g liver per h. No difference in the molecular weight profile of liver polypeptide chains on the basis of labeling or Amido-black staining was observed between the 2 groups. The distributions of radioactivity before and after secretion of labeled plasma protein are compared. The role of protein-synthetic rate in the changing enzyme levels associated with thyroid hormone is discussed.
