Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that modified nucleosides of the xm5(s2)U(m)34-type restrict the wobble capacity of the base, and that their function is to prevent misreading in the third position of the codon in mixed codon family boxes that encode two different amino acids. In this study in Escherichia coli, the misreading in vivo of asparagine codons in bacteriophage MS2 mRNA by different hypomodified derivatives of...
