John,

In your nucleotideRNA class, you take the nucleotides.plist and then 
cleverly replace everything T for U. But next, in the actual 
instantiating you do this:

  tempDict = [baseDefinitions objectForKey: @"T"];
     if ( tempDict != nil  && [tempDict isKindOfClass: [NSDictionary 
class]] ) {
         uridineRepresentation = [[BCNucleotideRNA alloc]  
initWithSymbol: 'U'];
         [baseDefinitions removeObjectForKey: @"T"];
     }

That should be [baseDefinitions objectForKey: @"U"]; then isn't it? 
Haven't changed it though...
Alex
