The tRNA preparation obtained from human placenta by phenol extraction and DEAE-cellulose chromatography was homogeneous on ultracentrifugation and showed high amino acid acceptor activity. 2. The analysis of the isoaccepting tRNA by reversed-phase chromatography (RPC-5 system) showed the presence of 5 fractions for glycine and leucine, 3 for tyrosine, alanine and valine, 2 for arginine and 1 for phenylalanine.
