Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play a central role in the translation of genetic information into functional proteins, and their structure, modifications, and interactions are critical to cellular homeostasis and gene expression regulation. In recent years, tRNA research has expanded beyond basic translation biology to include therapeutic design, biomarker discovery, synthetic biology, and disease modeling. The complexity of tRNA biology, with its extensive post-transcriptional modifications and dynamic regulation, demands highly specialized expertise, precise synthesis, and robust analytical methods. BOC Sciences provides a comprehensive suite of tRNA services, enabling researchers to accelerate discoveries and ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of their experimental outcomes.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It acts as an adaptor between messenger RNA (mRNA) codons and amino acids, ensuring the correct incorporation of amino acids into a growing polypeptide chain during translation. Each tRNA carries a specific anticodon that pairs with complementary codons on the mRNA, and a corresponding amino acid attached at its acceptor stem. tRNAs are also heavily modified with chemical marks that influence folding, stability, and decoding accuracy.
The primary function of tRNA is to deliver amino acids to the ribosome during translation, but their biological roles extend far beyond this canonical process:
Yes. We specialize in producing rare isoacceptors and species-specific variants, including those with complex structures or unique anticodons. This allows researchers to explore organism-specific translation dynamics and rare decoding events.
Absolutely. We offer precise placement of modifications such as pseudouridine, thiolation, methylation, or rare marks like Acp³U. All modifications are confirmed by analytical validation (LC-MS/MS, NMR, HPLC) to guarantee fidelity.
Yes. We provide publication-ready datasets in widely used formats, along with bioinformatics support for integration into pipelines such as epitranscriptomic analysis, ribosome profiling, or comparative expression studies.
We use optimized probe design and specialized library preparation protocols developed to overcome these obstacles. These methods reduce structural artifacts and increase sensitivity for both low-abundance species and highly modified tRNAs.
