The origin of the tRNA molecule: Independent data favor a specific model of its evolution

Massimo Di Giulio. Biochimie. 2012 Jul.

Abstract

The properties, historical and empirical observations of a model of the origin of the tRNA molecule are discussed. This model would predict that this molecule originated by means of the assembly of two hairpin-like structures of RNA. The conclusion is that the model possesses a relevant part of the truth on the origin of the tRNA molecule.
