What does tRNA stand for?
Transfer RNA
What are the characteristics of tRNA?
-short, single stranded molecule
-forms a clover leaf shape
What is the function of tRNA?
Transports amino acids to the ribosome so that proteins can be synthesised in translation
What is the structure of tRNA?
-each tRNA molecule has an amino acid attachment site ending in CCA
-at the opposite end of the molecule there is an anticodon (a triplet of bases)
How does tRNA bind to mRNA in the ribosome?
The anticodon bases form a complex with complementary bases on the mRNA molecule (codon).
