1. Phenylalanyl-tRNA formed after chemical hypermethylation of Escherichia coli B tRNA was able to bind to ribosomes with the same efficiency as normal phenylalanyl-tRNA. 2. Under incubation conditions used in the ribosome-binding assay, hypermethylation of tRNA did not measurably decrease the stability of either inter-nucleotide phosphodiester bonds or the covalent bond between amino acid and tRNA in phenylalanyl-tRNA. 3. The ability of hypermethylated tRNA to take part in polyphenylalanine synthesis was inhibited progressively as the degree of hypermethylation increased. 4. Hypermethylation of tRNA affected polyphenylalanine synthesis at the stage of amino acid recognition and at a further point in the synthesis but not at the level of codon–anticodon recognition. 5. The formation of polylysine was more seriously affected by hypermethylation of tRNA than would be accounted for by inhibition of amino acid acceptance alone. 6. Polyproline formation was completely inhibited by the presence of 7mol% excess of methyl groups in tRNA. 7. The possibility of a link between amino acid acceptance and ribosome-binding was suggested for phenylalanyl-tRNA, but not for lysyl- or prolyl-tRNA.
