RNA molecule that carries an amino acid to the ribosome and transfers it to a growing polypeptide chain in translation.

The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of tRNA-amino acid interactions and the accuracy of codon-anticodon recognition ensure the faithful translation of the genetic code into ...

How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

During tRNA development, the researchers identified 12 highly active tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs in Escherichia coli that can add canonical and noncanonical amino acids. Then, Badran’s team used ...
