Synthesis of Genes for Yeast Alanyl tRNA - As readers may know, structures of large number of tRNA molecules are now known.

The first tRNA whose structure could be known was yeast alanyl tRNA. R.W. Holley who died in early 1993 and his coworkers (in 1965) gave the detailed structure of yeast alanyl tRNA. This information was immediately used by H.G. Khorana and his coworkers to deduce the structure of the gene for yeast alanyl tRNA.
