Three-dimensional structure of Escherichia coli initiator tRNAfMet
Nature.

Abstract
The crystal structure of Escherichia coli tRNAfMet an initiator transfer RNA, has been determined. While grossly similar to that of the chain-elongating yeast tRNAPhe, there are three major differences. One involves the folding of the anticodon loop; in particular, the position of the constant uridine, U33. This difference was unexpected and may be of functional significance.
