An explanation of how a specific transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule can translate different codons in a messenger RNA template: there is some looseness in the alignment that allows the third base of the anticodon to pair with a base other than its normal complementary base. Other than the normal complementary pairs of guanine (G), with cytosine (C) and adenine (A) with uracil (U), G pairs with U, U pairs with G, and I (inosine) pairs with A, U, or C, where the first base of these pairs is the third base of the anticodon. 2, record 1, English, - Wobble
