Abstract excerpt
The influence of pyrophosphate hydrolysis by inorganic pyrophosphatase on homologous aminoacylation of different yeast tRNA(Phe) mutants was studied. The addition of pyrophosphatase significantly improved the aminoacylation efficiency of tRNA(Phe) structural mutants as well as the mutant with substitution at position 20, while having no effect on the charge of wild-type tRNA(Phe). Aminoacylation of tRNA(Phe)...
