Biochemistry - 7 Mar 1995
Hou Y M, Sterner T, Jansen M
Abstract excerpt
The tertiary nucleotides at positions 15 and 48 in a tRNA establish non-Watson-Crick hydrogen interactions that connect the dihydrouridine (D) loop with the variable loop and stabilize the "L"-shaped tRNA structure. Although the majority of tRNAs have G15.C48 or A15.U48, all of the 16 possible nu...
