Title:

An Intermediate in the Biosynthesis of Polyphenylalanine Directed by Synthetic Template RNA

Creator:

Nirenberg, Marshall W.
Jones, Oliver W., Jr
Matthaei, Heinrich

Date:

January 1962

Description:

Building on earlier poly-U investigations, this article suggests that the genetic code may not be universal, offering that it may differ from species to species because variant sRNA base-pairings may substitute one amino acid for another during protein synthesis.
