rapid and accurate protein production. The inclusion of chemically modified bases into mRNAs has the potential to alter the strength and pattern of hydrogen bonding between mRNAs and aminoacyl-tRNAs to alter protein synthesis. We investigated how the N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Y) modification, commonly incorporated into therapeutic and vaccine mRNA sequences, influences the ability of codons to react with cognate and near-cognate tRNAs and release factors. We find ...
