Wobble hypothesis

A theory proposed by Francis Crick that proposes that the base at the 5' end of the anticodon (3' end of the codon) is not as constrained as the other two bases. This feature allows for less exact base pairing so that the 5' end of the anticodon can potentially pair with one of three different bases at the 3' end of the codon.
