[The convergent evolution of the secondary structure of mitochondrial cysteine tRNA in the nine-banded armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus].
The case of the convergent loss of the D-hairpin in mitochondrial cysteine tRNA of the nine-banded armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus is described. This evolutionary event sheds light on the molecular structure-function relationship and on the effect of this relationship on the processes of evolution of biopolymers and macromolecules.
