Nucleotide sequence of phenylalanine transfer ribonucleic acid from pea (Pisum sativum, Alaska)

Abstract

Phenylalanine transfer RNA from peas (P. sativum cv. ''Alaska'') was completely digested with beef pancreatic RNase (RNase I) and with RNase T1. The resulting oligonucleotides were compared with those from the corresponding hydrolyses of phenylalanine transfer RNA from wheat germ. The structures of both RNAs appeared to be identical. This report is the 1st to show that identical structures for the same specific acceptor transfer RNA are present in 2 different plant species.
