'mtDNA'

The tRNA's.

The following pages give the details of each of the 22 transfer RNA found in mtDNA.
The pages give detail of:
- human and other primate sequences
- human NUMT sequences
and
- the mutations found in published Human mtDNA sequences.

Alanine Arginine Asparagine Aspartic acid Cysteine Glutamine Glutamic acid Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine (CUN)

Leucine (UUR) Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Proline Serine (UCN) Serine (AGY) Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine Valine

For a fuller explanation of tRNAs look at the JoGG article:
The Medical Implications of Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequencing
