In this lecture, we explore the major structural features of transfer RNA (tRNA). This include the 2-dimentional and 3-dimentional shapes and common base modifications. A specific emphasis is focused on the inosine base, the wobble base, and its contribution to the phenomenon of degeneracy between anticodon and codon base pairing and hydrogen bonding. The concept of redundancy within the genetic code is discussed.
