Why should we care about tRNA modification? Transfer RNA (tRNA) is at the heart of translation — the process at which the genetic code of an organism is deciphered into functional machines, i.e.
The research group led by Professor Tsutomu Suzuki of The University of Tokyo is opening new horizons in RNA modification research. In particular, the group has discovered a reversible RNA ...
tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...
