Abstract
If not among all the universal components of organisms, then among the nucleic acids at least, the transfer RNAs are unique in having both a relatively constant molecular size and configuration. These consistencies are even more noteworthy because the class of substances (amino acids) they transport is totally lacking in both traits. Thus contrary to what might be expected from physicochemical considerations, no molecular relationships are in evidence between the carrier and transported compounds, a point that merits serious attention as the discussion proceeds. This chapter principally compares the characteristics of the base sequences of over 95 different species of tRNA. These results are then analyzed from an evolutionary standpoint in Chapter 8 in order to seek evidence relevant to the origin of life.
