Rat liver ribosomes bound [32P]tRNAPhe in both a codon-dependent and codon-independent manner. The codon-dependent binding was studied further by utilising the ability of the unchanged tRNAPhe to inhibit the poly(U)-directed binding of [3H]Phe-tRNA to ribosomes. At least part of the codon-dependent binding of uncharged tRNA appears to be to the ribosomal A-site.
