Analysis of tRNA aminoacylation based on molecular recognition capability of nucleotides.
Research Site : Associate Professor, Department of Biological Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science
Abstract
The genetic code is the algorithm that connects specific RNA triplets to amino acids throughout all biological systems. I will analyze the process of chemical aminoacylation of tRNA at the nucleotide level and try to elucidate the origins of homochirality and also the genetic code used by biological systems.
