The crystal structure of the monoclinic form of yeast phenylalanine tRNA has been redetermined at a resolution of 1.93 A. The structure of yeast tRNAphe described here is more accurate than its predecessors not only because it incorporates higher resolution data, but also because it has been refined using techniques that had not been developed when its predecessors were determined more than 20 years ago. The 1.93 A resolution version of this structure differs interestingly from its predecessors in its details. In loop regions particularly, the backbone torsion angles in the new structure are not the same as those reported earlier. Several new divalent cation binding sites have been identified, and the water structure that has emerged is also different.
酵母苯丙氨酸tRNA单斜晶系形式的晶体结构已在1.93埃的分辨率下重新测定。这里描述的酵母tRNAphe结构比其先前的结构更精确,这不仅是因为它纳入了更高分辨率的数据,还因为它是使用20多年前测定其先前结构时尚未开发的技术进行精修的。该结构1.93埃分辨率版本在细节上与其先前版本有趣地不同。特别是在环区域,新结构中的主链扭转角与先前报道的不同。已鉴定出几个新的二价阳离子结合位点,并且呈现出的水结构也不同。
