Phenylalanine-specific tRNA from yeast was hydrolysed with cobra venom ribonuclease in the doublestranded regions and the fragments isolated. The 'dissected' molecules with nicks in positions 28 and 41were reconstructed from supplementary fragments and treated with T-4 RNA ligase. A phosphodiester bond between two fragments was formed when the fragment combination (l-28) + (29-76) was used. A strong discrimination in the ligation yield between different nick positions in the same helix is shown.Cobra venom nuclease RNA ligase
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
