The secondary structure of the human mt-tRNAAsn (a) and the multiple alignment with annotated secondary structure for selected species of mt-tRNAAsn (b, c). The "|" characters separate the loops and stems based on the accepted basic secondary structure of mt-tRNAs form Helm et al. (2000) while capital letters denote those nucleotides that are predicted by mfold to participate in WC or GU pairing in stem structures.
