transfer RNA

• tRNA 


  a single polynucleotide strand that's folded into a clover shape
• Hydrogen bonds between specific base pairs hold the molecule in a clover shape
• anticodon 


  a specific sequence of three bases at one end of every tRNA molecule
• at the other end of the molecule there is an amino acid binding site
• where is it found

  in the cytoplasm where it's involved in translation.
• what does it do

  It carries the amino acids that are used to make proteins to the ribosomes.
• structure of tRNA

  A) anticodon

  B) amino acid binding site

  C) hydrogen bonds between the base pairs

  
• each amino acid as a different anticodon
• each anticodon is complimentary to the codon on the mRNA
