If the fragm en t w as in serted in fo rw ard direction, the p lasm id B 50il w as ob tained and com puter analysis revealed that a hairp in fo rm ed ahead of the tran slation in itiation region (T IR ) bu t no t affected the T IR. If it w as in serted inversely, B 50i2 w as ob tained, w ith a secondary structu re at the 5 part of the T IR. A no ther p lasm id,d 13,w as differen t from B 50 in the secondary structu re of the T IR, becau se of differen t 6 bp up stream and 7 bp dow n stream of the SD sequence. By the com parison of the Β2galacto sidase activities and the energies ( E ) requ ired fo r releasing the secondary structu re of the T IR calcu lated by the com puter, of the fou r p lasm ids, it indicates that the efficiency of tran slation in itiation is no t affected by the secondary structu re ahead of the T IR, bu t by that of the 5 part T IR, though less than that near SD and AU G. M eanw h ile, the exp ression of the L ac Z w as m easu red and com pared w ith that of the L ac Z. T he Β2galacto sidase activity w ith ho loenzym e w as a little b it h igher than the Α2pep tide of enzym e, bu t the ratio s am ong the differen t p lasm ids w ere the sam e. : 2000203224, : 2000206209 (N o. 39570406) 3 Tel: (021) 643744302234, Fax: (021) 64338357, E2m ail: lucd@ sunm. shcnc. ac. cn,, 1973 9, Received:M arch 24, 2000; A ccep ted: June 9, 2000 Suppo rted by N ational N atural Science Foundation of China,N o. 39570406 3 Co rresponding autho r T el: (021) 643744302234, Fax: (021) 64338357, E2m ail: lucd@ sunm. shcnc. ac. cn
