Under nonenzymatic binding conditions p-nitrophenoxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-tRNA can be bound to the donor as well as the acceptor site on the Escherichia coli ribosome. Precharging ribosomes with phenylalanyl-tRNA in the presence of elongation factor Tu and GTP blocks both the donor- and the acceptor site against affinity labelling by p-nitrophenoxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-tRNA.
