Abstract excerpt
We showed earlier that a single G3.U70 base pair within the amino acid acceptor helix is a major determinant of the identity of tRNA(Ala). In addition, we demonstrated that an RNA hairpin minihelix that recreates the 12 base pair acceptor-T psi C stem of tRNA(Ala) is also aminoacylated in a G3.U7...
