General description

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is isolated from baker′s yeast.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a short nucleotide RNA chain, which has an L-shaped structure.

Application

Ribonucleic acid, transfer from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) has been used to precipitate mRNA of denuded oocytes and for reverse transcription. It has also been used to seal magnetic beads in RNA pull-down assay of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.
Ribonucleic acid, transfer from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) is suitable for use as a carrier in nucleic acid purification and precipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as an ‘adaptor′ molecule that translates the three-nucleotide codon sequence in the mRNA to the corresponding amino acid of that codon. It determines the genetic code by linking amino acids and nucleic acids. tRNA is involved in viral replication, bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, cell stress response, and animal behavior control. Aberrations in tRNA molecules are associated with several human diseases.

Components

tRNA is provided in a solution in 10 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4) in 1 mM EDTA.

The structure and function of conserved motifs constituting the apex of Stem I in T-box mRNA leaders are investigated. We point out that this apex shares striking similarities with the L1 stalk (helices 76-78) of the ribosome. A sequence and

During translation elongation, the ribosome compositional factors elongation factor G (EF-G; encoded by fusA) and tRNA alternately bind to the ribosome to direct protein synthesis and regulate the conformation of the ribosome. Here, we use single-molecule fluorescence with zero-mode waveguides

Bacterial growth is crucially dependent on protein synthesis and thus on the cellular abundance of ribosomes and related proteins. Here, we show that the slow diffusion of the bulky tRNA complexes in the crowded cytoplasm imposes a physical limit on

Atomic-scale models on the gating mechanism of voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) are based on linear interpolations between static structures of their initial and final state derived from crystallography and molecular dynamics simulations, and, thus, lack dynamic structural information. The lack
