it is a type of RNA molecule that is made up of about 75 nucleotides. there are at least 20 different types of RNA for each amino acid. the rna is folded to for a t shaped structure like a clover leaf.

it has the following arms:

1) anticodon arm-contains 5 bp stem and an anticodon loop and a Y strand for modifies purine nucleotides.

2) T arm- has a 5 bp stem and T pseudouridine C sequence.

3) a D arm- has a 4 bp stem and a loop containing dihydrouridine.

4) an accepter stem-made up of 5' terminal phosphate group and 3'OH terminal nucleotide that has a CCA base that attaches the amino acids and recognisestRNA enzyme. it has 7bp stem.

5) variable stem.
