Abstract excerpt
The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) covalently attach amino acids to their corresponding nucleic acid adapter molecules, tRNAs. The interactions in the tRNA-aaRSs complexes are mostly non-specific, and largely electrostatic. Tracing a way of aaRS-tRNA mutual adaptation throughout evolution offers a clearer view of understanding how aaRS-tRNA systems preserve patterns of tRNA recognition and binding. In this...
