Abstract
RNA microhelices that reconstruct the acceptor stems of transfer RNAs can be aminoacylated. The anticodon-independent aminoacylation is sequence-specific and suggests a relationship between amino acids and nucleotide sequences which is different from that of the classical genetic code. The specific aminoacylation of RNA microhelices also suggests a highly differentiated adaptation of the structures of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to sequences in the acceptor stems of transfer RNAs.Mesh:
