D. Kanduc et al., ISOLATION OF RAT-LIVER TRNA(ASP), TRNA(CYS), TRNA(TYR), AND TRNA(VAL)ISOACCEPTOR SPECIES BY HPLC, Biochemical archives, 11(2), 1995, pp. 121-127
Cytoplasmic tRNA population from rat liver has been fractionated by h.
p.l.c. using a gradient of acetonitrile/ammonium acetate. Peak assignm
ent and relative concentrations of iso-tRNAs for aspartic acid, cystei
ne, tyrosine, and valine have been established. The relative concentra
tions of these tRNA species have been expressed as area peak percentag
es and compared to theoretical data for the fractional use of each cod
on for aminoacid.
