Conformational States of Transfer Ribonucleic Acids

  • Chapter
Gene Expression and its Regulation

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC))

Abstract

The occurrence of different conformations of tRNAs is described or postulated in many recent publications. No review of the topic is attempted here, but rather a discussion of a few selected experiments. Although the figures are taken from our work, the main body of this article will include discussion of publications from various laboratories. For more general information, the reader may turn to one or the other of the numerous review articles on tRNA (e.g., refs. 1–5).
