In this paper, we report the synthesis of the 5’-half molecule of yeast alanine tRNA (tRNA_y~(Ala)) by ligating three oligonucleotide fragments corresponding to the nucleotide sequences 1-13, 14-22 and 23-35 respectively under the catalysis of T_4 RNA ligase (Fig. 1). Because of the high purity of the oligonuclcotide fragments and the excellent quality of T_4RNA ligase and polynucleotide kinase we prepared, the isolation steps were simplified and the overall yields were much higher. The ligating yield of the docosamer (Ⅳ) was 75%, that of the pentatriacontamer (Ⅴ), 90%, and the isolated yield of the final product was 21% calculated on the basis of the tridecamer (Ⅲ) used in the. first reaction. Under the action of T_4 RNA ligase the synthetic 5’-half molecule was joined with the natural 3’-half molecule forming a semi-synthetic tRNA_y~(Ala), which possessed the biological activities of both accepting (~3H)-alanine and incorpprating it into proteins. The correctness of the structure of the synthetic 5
