Abstract excerpt
Dissection of the yeast cytoplasmic initiator tRNA(Met) into two helical domains, the T psi C acceptor and anticodon minihelices, failed to show anminoacylation and binding of the acceptor minihelix by the yeast methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) even in the presence of the anticodon minihelix. In contrast, based on the measure of the inhibition constant Ki, the anticodon minihelix carrying the methionine...
