Overview Translation relies upon aminoacyl-tRNA that carry specific amino acids and recognize the corresponding codons in mRNA by anticodon codon base-pairing
Overview • Translation relies upon aminoacyl-tRNA that carry specific amino acids and recognize the corresponding codons in mRNA by anticodoncodon base-pairing
Synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNA (amino acid activation) Each tRNA molecule has a cloverleaf secondary structure consisting of three stem loops, one of which bears the anticodon at its end. The reaction is called amino acid activation
