title: Molecular cloning of the gene encoding the valyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
abstract: The valS gene from the thermophile Bacillus stearothermophilus encoding the valyl-tRNA synthetase has been cloned on a 13.8-kb plasmid. The gene product and its kinetic properties are comparable with those of the native enzyme.
