Abstract excerpt
The specificity of transfer RNA aminoacylation by cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is a crucial step for synthesis of functional proteins. It is established that the aminoacylation identity of a single tRNA or of a family of tRNA isoacceptors is linked to the presence of positive signals (determinants) allowing recognition by cognate synthetases and negative signals (antideterminants) leading to rejection by the...
