General description

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is isolated from baker′s yeast.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a short nucleotide RNA chain, which has an L-shaped structure.

Application

Ribonucleic acid, transfer from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) has been used to precipitate mRNA of denuded oocytes and for reverse transcription. It has also been used to seal magnetic beads in RNA pull-down assay of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.
Ribonucleic acid, transfer from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) is suitable for use as a carrier in nucleic acid purification and precipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as an ‘adaptor′ molecule that translates the three-nucleotide codon sequence in the mRNA to the corresponding amino acid of that codon. It determines the genetic code by linking amino acids and nucleic acids. tRNA is involved in viral replication, bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, cell stress response, and animal behavior control. Aberrations in tRNA molecules are associated with several human diseases.

Components

tRNA is provided in a solution in 10 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4) in 1 mM EDTA.

A key step of translation by the ribosome is translocation, which involves the movement of messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) with respect to the ribosome. This allows a new round of protein chain elongation by placing the next

Protein synthesis in all cells is carried out by macromolecular machines called ribosomes. Although the structures of prokaryotic, yeast and protist ribosomes have been determined, the more complex molecular architecture of metazoan 80S ribosomes has so far remained elusive. Here
