I suggest this article to be renamed Wobble HYPOTHESIS


Why the wobble hypothesis? I think the existence of these base pairs is pretty well established.

Also - the Wobble base pairs are not the primary means that nature uses 20 amino acids with 64 codons - most of this is just redundancy of codons (several codons that code for the same amino acid). The different codons can lead to different RNA folding, and also different folding of the nascent protein (because of differences during the translation process.) 142.157.72.172 18:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Jon
