Selenoprotein A of the clostridial glycine reductase complex: purification and amino acid sequence of the selenocysteine-containing peptide.

abstract：:A special methionine tRNA (tRNAi) is universally required to initiate translation. Amongst species a tRNAi structural conservation is most apparent in the anticodon and T arms of the molecule but extends into the variable loop and the 3' strand of the D stem. This suggested that they could share a similar ancestral or...
