"DARS (cytosolic aspartyl tRNA synthetase) catalyzes the reaction of aspartate, tRNA(Asp), and ATP to form Asp-tRNA(Asp), AMP, and pyrophosphate. The enzyme, a class II tRNA synthetase, is a homodimer found in the cell as a component of the mutienzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex (Escalante and Yang 1993)."^^ . . . . . .
