 Gene decoding revealed at atomic level   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Paul F. Agris, professor of biochemistry at NC State, and academic colleagues from England and Poland show concrete evidence in favor of the 1966 "Wobble Hypothesis" offered by Francis Crick, the co-founder of the DNA molecule and its double-helix structure, and Agris' own "Modified Wobble Hypothesis" posed in 1991.
Now, in the recent paper, Agris and colleagues prove Agris' alteration to Crick's hypothesis was correct: Cellular modification of tRNA alters chemistry and structure in a manner critical for tRNA to decode more than one three-letter code.
Agris says that 15 to 20 percent of tRNAs in all organisms require modified chemistries in order for codes to be properly read and protein synthesis to be successful.

 News Release: Cracking the Genomic Code: Gene Decoding Revealed at Atomic Level   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Squaring the disparity between the number of codes and the number of amino acids – there are three times as many codes as there are amino acids – became a hurdle for Crick and other early geneticists, Agris explained.
Seeing this inosine in an important area of the tRNA molecule – an area that read the three-letter DNA codes when the cell synthesizes proteins – led Crick to believe that a single tRNA used inosine to read more than one code, and that therefore the 61 codes were decoded by fewer than 61 tRNAs.
Using atomic-level resolution – in which researchers can distinguish atom from atom – and working with a tRNA specific for the amino acid lysine, Agris and his colleagues show modified nucleosides enabling tRNA to decode genomic information on the ribosome, the cell’s protein synthesis machinery.
