Figure 1

Codon usage and codon-anticodon recognition in P. falciparum. (a) The codon usage frequency in P. falciparum shows high A+T content in commonly used codons. (b) An illustration of all possible codon anticodon pairings predicted by the wobble hypothesis. The number of tRNA gene that contains the anticodon sequence is shown. Red indicates G-U wobble base-pairing codons. Grey indicates non-GU wobble base-pairing codons (i.e. I-C and U-G). *There are two tRNAs with CAU anticodon, one of them is Met-tRNAi Met used only for translation initiation.
