Abstract

The interaction of the stable aminoacyl-tRNA analogue, tRNAPhe—C—C—A(3'NH)•Phe, with 70S ribosome is studied. It is shown that in the presence of poly(U) a ribosome can bind three molecules of tRNAPhe—C—C—A(3'NH)•Phe. The «additional» site for binding aminoacyl-tRNA analogue was shown to be similar to the ribosomal E-site for deacylate tRNA.
