Basic Research Aimed at Designing Useful Enzymes

　Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) guarantees the fidelity of translation of genetic information into protein. It has acquired the highest degree of substrate recognition during evolution of life. The elucidation of this recognition mechanism might provide information required for designing enzymes.
