Abstract excerpt
Neither the tertiary structure nor the location of active sites are known for phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS; alpha 2 beta 2 structure), a member of class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. In an attempt to detect the phenylalanine (Phe) binding site, two Escherichia coli PheRS mutant strains (pheS), which were resistant to p-fluorophenylalanine (p-F-Phe) were analysed genetically. The pheS mutations were found...
