Chemistry and structure of modified uridines in the anticodon, wobble position of transfer RNA are determined by thiolation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00257a044

Uridines found in the first or wobble position of transfer RNA anticodons are most often modified at base ring carbon-5 and many times also thiolated at carbon-2. It is important to understand the chemistry and structure of the modified uridines because t
