Abstract

The coding properties of 5-methoxyuridine in the wobble position of threonine and valine tRNAs from Bacillus subtilis were investigated by the technique of aminoacyl-tRNA binding to ribosomes. 5-Methoxyuridine is recognized by A, G, and fairly well by U of the third letter of colons like uridine-5-oxyacetic acid in some tRNAs from Escherichia coli.
