Abstract
Queuine, a modified base found in transfer RNA, appears to be a new dietary factor because (i) previous studies have shown that mice require it for the expression of queuine-containing transfer RNA's, but apparently do not synthesize it, and (ii) significant amounts of free queuine are present in common plant and animal food products.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
