Abstract
The in vivo aminoacylation specificity of tRNA(Cys) was studied with m utants of opal and amber suppressor tRNAs in Escherichia coli. This sp ecificity depends not only on nucleotides in the acceptor end and anti codon of tRNA(Cys) but also on nucleotides in the dihydrouridine stem and loop and the variable loop that interact, forming the complex core of tRNA tertiary structure.
