Nucleotide sequence of a yeast tyrosine transfer RNA

Transfer RNA structures presumably get into a symposium on the genetic code by virtue of the supposition that there must be three nucleotides in the tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) that interact with messenger RNA in a specific and reliable fashion. But since we are looking for only three nucleotides out of about 80 there is, un-fortunately, a lot of nonrelevant material. Since the methods used to determine the nucleotide sequence of the tyrosine tRNA from baker's yeast were the same as those developed by Holley et al. (1965) during work on the structure of alanine tRNA, we will not describe them in detail. Figure 1 shows the pattern obtained when bul
