Coliphage MS2 RNA directs the synthesis in Escherichia coli extracts of a protein product the tryptic peptides of which correspond to the peptides of the phage coat protein. Fingerprint analysis of the synthetic protein labeled with various mino acids indicated that in each case only those coat protein peptides which contain a particular amino acid were labeled.
