Description

This is the definitive guide to the rapidly progressing field of tRNA research. Written and edited by acknowledged experts, the book provides an up-to-date account of all aspects of research on tRNA, including its structure, biosynthesis and interaction with the many proteins involved in protein biosynthesis.
