Study of the role of the acceptor stem in the interactions between tRNAs and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Several studies have clearly demonstrated that the end of the acceptor stem was a very important area determining the aminoacylation properties of tRNAs. However the attempts to measure the contribution of this region to the binding of tRNAs to aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have led to contradictory results. We report here the stepwise degradation of yeast tRNA-Phe and tRNA-Val from their 3' terminus, up to the seventh nucleotide : the affinity of each of the degraded-tRNA for their cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase was compared to that of intact tRNA and it was found that these affinities are not significantly decreased when compared to those of the intact tRNAs.

Fracture of the clavicle.

In the treatment of fractures of the clavicle the generally accepted principles of fracture treatment should be observed, viz: X-rays in two projections at least, anatomical reduction and fixation stable enough to withstand exercising. Treatment with just a sling is adequate in children up to 14 years of age and also in older patients with only slight displacement. Surgical reduction and fixation with a Kirschner wire is to be preferred in patients older than 14 years with shortening by more than 1 cm or with severe displacement in another direction, and in cases of comminuted fractures. Patients with such fractures in whom operation is contra-indicated should be treated with an abduction-tractionbandage. The dorsal pad should be abandoned.
