title: Reactions of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-aminoacyl adenylate complex and amino acid derivatives. A new approach to peptide synthesis.
abstract: Several kinds of dipeptide derivative were shown to be formed by the reactions of the aminoacyl adenylate-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex and amino acid ester or amide. It was shown that the peptide bond could be formed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases even in the absence of the ribosome.
