Translation is most often terminated when a ribosome encounters the first in-frame stop codon (UAA, UAG or UGA) in an mRNA. However, many viruses (and some cellular mRNAs) contain "stop" codons that cause a proportion of ribosomes to terminate and

A chromogenic substrate 1, 5-bromo-4-chloroindol-3-yl 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-alpha-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosidon ic acid (X-Neu5Ac), has been synthesized to facilitate the screening of bacterial colonies or plaques for the detection of either natural or mutant neuraminidase activity. Substrate 1 was hydrolyzed by neuraminidase isolated from Clostridium
