Extracurricular Functions of tRNA Modifications in Microorganisms
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are essential adaptors that mediate translation of the genetic code. These molecules undergo a variety of post-transcriptional modifications, which expand their chemical reactivity while influencing their structure, stability, and functionality. Chemical modifications to tRNA e...
