7.2 Codon-anticodon recognition involves wobbling Wobble hypothesis accounts for the ability of a trna to recognize more than one codon by unusual (non-G C non-a T) pairing with the third base of a codon 消当
Wobble hypothesis accounts for the ability of a tRNA to recognize more than one codon by unusual (non-G C, non-A T) pairing with the third base of a codon. 7.2 Codon-anticodon recognition involves wobbling
