title: Primary sequence of mitochondrial tRNA(Arg) of a nematode Ascaris suum: occurrence of unmodified adenosine at the first position of the anticodon.
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.
