Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the anticodon of methionine tRNAs contains most, if not all, of the nucleotides required for specific recognition of tRNA substrates by Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase [Schulman, L. H., & Pelka, H. (1988) Science 242, 765-768]. Previous cross-linking experiments have also identified a site in the synthetase that lies within 14 A of the anticodon binding domain [Leon, O., &...
