A theoretical study of the effect of structural variations on the biochemical reactivity of yeast tRNAPhe and yeast tRNAAsp.
The ASIF index which combines both steric and electronic factors is applied to the comparative study of the reactivity of yeast tRNAAsp and yeast tRNAPhe using the coordinates deduced from their crystal structures. The results compared with the known experimental reactivities in solution are somewhat less perfect for tRNAAsp than for tRNAPhe. The reasons for this situation are probably related to the differences existing between the structures of tRNAAsp in the crystal and in solution.
