Base pairing and fidelity in codon-anticodon interaction

Nature. 1976 Sep 23;263(5575):289-93. doi: 10.1038/263289a0.

Abstract

Base pairing in codon-anticodon interaction has been investigated in order to understand the basis on which particular base pairs have been selected for or against participation at the wobble position and the basis for codon-anticodon infidelity.
