โฆ Synopsis
We describe a rapid and simple method for measuring protein degradation in bacteria. After cells have incorporated [l-"Clleucine, they are washed and resuspended in a medium containing unlabelled leucine. After an incubation period, the cell suspensions are treated with chloramine-T to decarboxylate the [Vlleucine released in the course of protein degradation. The "COz is trapped and counted.
