Abstract

Mitochondrial tRNA(Arg) from a nematode, Ascaris suum, was purified and sequenced at the RNA level. An unmodified adenosine was found to exist at the anticodon first position, suggesting that, contrary to the conventional wobble rule, the anticodon ACG of the tRNA can translate all the CGN codons.
