In a study of the lysine amino acid activation reaction in protein synthesis, we have employed optical rotatory dispersion(ORD) to look for physicrl evidence of a possible change in conformation of l-1ysine: sRNA ligase(AMP),(EC 6.1. 1.6). When lysine activation was carried out in a thermostated cell in the Cary 60 spectropolarimeter, a Cotton effect developed during a 30 minute incubation at 37OC. The appearance of this effect was dependent on the presence of the lysyl-sRNA synthetase, lysine, ATP, and Mg++, and the effect was increased by raising the ATP concentration and by addition of pyrophosphatase. Pressure dialysis of the reaction mixture following incubation revealed that a dialyzable material was responsible for this ORD effect (Fig. 1). When the dialyzable material was lyophilized, taken up in water, and subjected to thin-layer chromatography(TIC) on poly (ethyleneimine)-cellulose(PEI-cellulose)(Randerath and Randerath, 1965, 1966), an unidentified new compound, quenching short-wave ultraviolet light, was observed. It appeared that ATP was being converted into this compound during the enzymatic reaction. A few umoles of the new nucleotide were isolated by preparative TLC for subsequent analysis. The compound has been identified as Pi, P4-di (adenosine-5') tetraphos-
