Abstract

The preparation of transfer RNA's terminating in 2′- and 3′-O-methyl-adenosine has been undertaken by a combination of chemical and enzymatic techniques to permit a determination of the mechanism of tRNA aminoacylation. Neither of the two synthetic tRNA's was aminoacylated substantially in the presence of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, consistent with the hypothesis that the aminoacyladenylate moiety exists in the form of a species with considerable orthoester character.
