Transfer RNA, tRNA, soluble RNA, sRNA. Low mol wt 23,000-27,000 approx 75-85 nucleotides. Each tRNA is specific for and binds with a particular amino acid more than one may exist for each amino acid. Performs three functions during protein synthesis binds with its specific amino acid recognizes the corresponding codon on mRNA and places the amino acid in the correct position for attach -ment to the polypeptide chain being formed binds the poly -peptide to the ribosome.

HYSCORE has a higher sensitivity in the region of low nuclear frequencies than that of ENDOR spectroscopy. Single crystal measurements have therefore been applied to studies of nitrogen-containing paramagnetic species (nuclear Zeeman frequency v( " N) = 1 MHz at X-band) of interest in biochemical and fundamental applications. The local structure around the species may be obtained as discussed below for the radical H3CCHCOO in irradiated /-alanine.
