Abstract excerpt
The arguments for nucleic acid chaperons are reviewed and three new lines of evidence are added. (1) It was found that amino acids encoded by codons in short nucleic acid loops frequently form turns and helices in the corresponding protein structures. (2) The amino acids encoded by partially complementary (1st and 3rd nucleotides) codons are more frequently co-located in the encoded proteins than expected by...
