title: [20 years of cooperation in the study of structure and function of tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases].
abstract: The article reviews the results of joint projects initiated 20 years ago in the field of tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Laboratories located at Novosibirsk, Moscow, Kiev and other places remoted geographically effectively cooperated with each other. More than 30 common publications emerged and the data obtained were communicated at several international meetings. The effectiveness of cooperation was achieved by two important factors: (i) mutual scientific and methodological complementarity of the cooperating units, and (ii) absence of administrative pressure. The cooperation was strongly supported by the Scientific Council of Molecular Biology and 10 workshops were sponsored by the Council to facilitate personal contacts and to create an atmosphere of intensive and informal exchange of data and ideas. It is stressed that the experience worked out in this particular field is applicable to other fields of molecular biology.
