Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Wobble base pair refers to anH-bonded base pairing between two nucleotides in an RNA molecule that does not follow Watson-Crick base pair regulations. In 1996, F.C. Crick suggested the theory.

Wobble base pairs are more common in transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs), and they play a key role in codon-anticodon interactions. In the four wobble base pairs, hypoxanthine-adenine is one of the most important.
