tRNA

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)
• - Carries an amino acid.

  • has an amino acid binding site
• - Anticodon = 3 bases
• - Anticodon bases complementary to mRNA codon
• - Each tRNA specific to one amino acid, in relation to its anticodon
• - Single polynucleotide strand
• Folded - 3 hairpin loops = three-leafed clover shaped held by hydrogen bonds
• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

  • Carries an amino acid as it has an amino acid binding site
  • Anticodon = 3 bases
  • Anticodon bases complementary to mRNA codon
  • Each tRNA specific to one amino acid, in relation to its anticodon
  • Single polynucleotide strand . It’s is folded = three-leafed clovershape Held together by hydrogen bonds
