The scientist(s)________ developed the triplet-binding assay.Samples containing ribosomes and a particular RNA triplet were exposed to charged tRNAs with different radiolabeled amino acids.Only the amino acid whose tRNA matched the triplet would bind the ribosome.The triplet-binding assay established relationships between particular triplet sequences and specific amino acids.
