Title	Theoretical Study of the Effects of Cation on tRNA
Author	Kwang Oh Koh, Mu Shik Jhon
Keywords
Abstract	The effects of cation on tRNA have been theoretically investigated using the semiempirical potential energy functions. The binding of Mg2+ to the model compound and the hydration scheme of the anticodon loop have been determined, and their stabilization energies produced by the introduction of magnesium pentahydrate and water molecules in the first hydration shell were calculated. The results indicate that magnesium pentahydrate is important for decreasing the flexibility of the anticodon loop and satisfying the large Y37 stereochemically during the protein synthesis. The effects of Mg2+ on the hydration scheme were also investigated.
