[edit] Base pairing of inosine?
Does inosine really base-pair to guanine? It seems highly unlikely that it could, compared to cytosine, adenine, and uracil. I'm unsure though.
Can anyone confirm this reference to see if it is right? http://www.web-books.com/MoBio/Free/Ch5C4.htm
Molecular Biology of the Cell 4th edition (Alberts et al.) confirms it (fig 6-53) I pairs to U,C,A in bacteria and to U,C in eukaryotes--131.111.8.99 13:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Inosine does no base pair with guanine, but with cytosine and it is READ or TRANSLATED as guanine.
