Abstract The molecular electrostatic potential of yeast tRNAPhe is calculated at sites bridging the anionic oxygens of each of the 76 phosphate groups of the molecule. A quantitative measure of the steric accessibility of the anionic oxygens of the phosphates toward a spherical cation is presented. Both the resulting potentials and accessibilities are discussed in terms of the molecular and electronic structure of tRNA.
