Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacterial tRNA(Leu) (UAA) intron sequences from natural populations of Nostoc and other cyanobacteria were compared. Variation between the different introns was not randomly distributed but strongly restricted by the secondary and tertiary structure of the intron. Although all Nostoc sequences examined shared high similarity, differences were observed in one stem-loop. This stem-loop could be divided into...
