Lysidine is an uncommon nucleic acid, rarely seen outside of tRNA. It is a derivative of cytidine differing in that cytidine's 2 carbonyl oxygen is replaced by the amino acid Lysine. Lysidine typically occurs in the anti-codon of the tRNA, where it exhibits far less wobble pairing than cytosine, allowing better translation fidelity.
