title: Structural studies on transfer RNA: crystallization of formylmethionine and leucine transfer RNA's.
abstract: Improved solvent systems were used to crystallize two different transfer RNA species. These crystals show increased mechanical and thermal stability over crystals obtained previously from a similar system. They have sufficient stability and crystalline order to be used in x-ray crystallographic studies.
