Question

What is the wobble effect?

Answer 1

Wobble effect:

1. The Wobble Hypothesis describes how one amino acid can be coded for by several codons.
2. The third nucleotide in a codon is referred to as the wobble position.
3. There are two main properties of this nucleotide.
4. The cognate tRNA's binding to a codon in an mRNA is substantially more "loose" in the codon's third position.
5. The third codon position can now accommodate a variety of non-Watson–Crick base pairings.
