Abstract
Transfer ribonucleic acids, tRNAs, not only function in the fundamental steps of protein synthesis, they are also involved in many other cellular processes, e.g. protein modification, cell wall biosynthesis, viral infection, RNA metabolism, and control mechanisms of gene-expression [1,2]. The modified nucleosides found in tRNA are suggested to be concerned with the metabolic roles of tRNA. Recent experimental evidence supports the view that alterations of nucleoside modifications in specific tRNAs cause structural changes that modulate their biological activities [3].
