<< Just some questions. How does a dimer on the anti-codon of a tRNA
effect translation TODAY?

TH
I would think that the protection of the ozone layer
has reduced the danger of all dimers.

But isn't it true that there are certain
biological ways to even repair present day dimer problems in translation?

I would think that if the dimer was not repairable
it would cause coding problems.

 Or how do you think it would effect the
translation today? Or does it even matter how dimers effect
translation today in discussing OOL or origins of the code?
 In a similiar vein, how does a dimer on the mRNA effect translation
TODAY? Or how do you think it would effect the translation of the mRNA
today?
