Figure 6. D-arm variants of tRNAfMet.
(a) tRNAfMetCGG variants bearing D-arm substitutions. Bases that differ from the wild-type tRNAfMet are highlighted in red. (b) Translation of mR2 mRNA using the Pro-tRNAfMetCGG variants. Relative translation yields of the P2 peptide are shown. See Supplementary Fig. 3n for absolute peptide yields. (c) tRNAfMetCAU variants with D-arm substitutions. (d) fMet–Pmn formation using f[35S] Met-tRNAfMetCAU variants. Error bars, s.d. (n=3). See Supplementary Fig. 3o for the yields of fMet–Pmn.
