The peptide-chain elongation rate of S. cerevisiae at 2 different growth rates was estimated by the kinetics of radioactive labeling of nascent and finished polypeptides as described by Gausing, 1972, and Young and Bremer, 1976. The elongation rates of a diploid strain cultured in yeast nitrogen base supplemented with glucose or acetate were 9.3 amino acids/s and 5.5 amino acids/s at 30.degree. C, respectively. These data together with published values on the ribosomal efficiency as a function of growth rate permit estimation of the rate of synthesis of ribosomal proteins as a function of the rate of total protein synthesis, .alpha.r, and the fraction of ribosomes that are active in protein synthesis. Apparently in S. cerevisiae .alpha.r is largely independent of the growth rate while the fraction of active ribosomes decreases with decreasing growth rate.
