SUMMARYKethoxal modification of guanosines within phe-tRNAphefromE.Coliwas studied for tRNA in the free state and specifically bound to the ribosomal A-site. Complex formation with the ribosome results in a protection from chemical modification of two distant sites in the tRNA molecule. The guanosines affected are G-18 and G-19, located in the D-loop, and G-34 in the anticodon loop.Modification of phe-tRNAphein the absence of ribosomes leads to a destabilisation of the tRNA structure. Our data are consistent with the conclusion that mocification of G-34 at the anticodon loop triggers a conformational instability in distant parts of the tRNA molecule.
