title: Base pairing in messenger RNA's for small peptides.
abstract: Longest runs of Watson-Crick pairing in hypothetical m-RNA's for a number of natural peptides were no greater than those in the hypothetical m-RNA's for a large number of randomized amino acid sequences from these peptides. This shown that even if base-pairing in m-RNA were a biological requirement, it would little constrain the amino acid sequence.
