Determination of the initiation factor, tRNA, mRNA, and nucleotide composition of preinitiation complexes and the distribution of translational components in both unfractionated and reconstituted systems has been complicated by the instability of these complexes. This has resulted in an apparent inefficient utilization of various translational components, as well as uncertainties in the requirements for formation and composition of intermediates formed during assembly of the 80 S initiation complex. Additional problems are introduced, however, by the use of cross-linking~: eagents to stabilize these complexes, since artificial associations of translational components can easily occur.We have found that exchange of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, GDPNP, for ribosomal bound GTP, or the presence of GTP-regenerating systems, permits highly efficient and stable binding of RNA and initiation factors during sucrose density gradient analysis without the use of chemical fixation. 1o Recent modifications in standard sucrose density gradient techniques, polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis and sample preparation, aminoacyl-tRNA and mRNA analysis, rapid procedures for eukaryotic initiation factor preparation, and radiolabeling techniques which do not alter the functional activities of most initiation factors, now permit exam-
