After transcription, tRNA precursors undergo a multi-step maturation process, including modifications of the nucleotides, 5′ end and 3′ end processing and folding into the L-shaped tertiary structure ...

In cells transfer RNA (tRNA) translates genetic information from the encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and in-depth theoretical calculations ...
