The left-handed Z-DNA double helix is held together by traditional Watson-Crick base pairs, but unlike righthanded B-DNA, which has major and minor grooves between the twists of its sugar-phosphate ...

proposed by Francis Crick in 1966, suggests that the pairing between the third base of a codon and the corresponding base of an anticodon is less stringent than the standard Watson-Crick base pairing.
