Chapter 10.5, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
ATP role in tRNA charging.
Introduction:
Amino acid activation is known as aminoacylation or tRNA charging. This process is carried out in two steps: In first the first step ATP is transferred to amino acid and in second step amino acid is joined to its cognate tRNA.
