Abstract excerpt
The redundant genetic codons NNU and NNC (where N is A, T, G, or C) specify the same amino acid and are decoded by their cognate tRNAs, which contain either a guanosine or a modified base in the wobble position of the anticodons. Since tRNAs with an adenosine in the wobble position of the anticod...
