Archaeosine (G*), semi-systematic name 7-formamidino-7-deazaguanosine (fa⁷d⁷G), is a modified nucleoside found in the dihydrouracil loop at position 15 of tRNAs found in Archaea, ^[1] and is thought to be important for the heat resistance of thermophilic archaea such as Thermococcus kodakarensis . ^{[2] [3] [4]}
