Aminoacyl-transfer RNA populations in mammalian cells chromatographic profiles and patterns of codon recognition

The chromatographic profiles of 20 aminoacyl-tRNAs from rabbit liver were compared to those of rabbit reticulocytes by reverse phase chromatography and the chromatographic profiles of 20-aminoacyl-tRNAs from bovine liver were compared to those of bovine brain. The two rabbit tissues showed significant differences in the elution profiles of most aminoacyl-tRNAs, while the elution profiles of the aminoacyl-tRNAs from the bovine tissues showed fewer differences. The patterns of codon recognition of several aminoacyl-tRNAs fractionated from rabbit reticulocytes have also been compared to those fractionated from rabbit liver.
