Mitochondrial sequences

This brings a reconstruction of the primeval structure into the realm of the possible. If the sequences of different tRNAs, for example, for E. coli bacteria, yeast cells, or archaebacteria, are compared, then they all show a high GC content, which increases further when the sequences are superimposed. However, it can be seen from the mitochondrial sequences, which are all rich in A and U, that G and C could be displaced in the course of evolution, presumably on account of a rich supply of the metabolite A in mitochondria G and C are thus not demanded by con-...
