One end of a tRNA molecule features an anticodon, a specific sequence of three nucleotides that base pairs with the corresponding codon on mRNA during protein synthesis. At the opposite end, the tRNA has an attached amino acid, which is determined by the anticodon sequence. This structure enables tRNA to deliver the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain during translation.

What are the two bonding sites of tRNA on the ribosomes?

The tRNA binds to the ribosome at two sites: the A site (aminoacyl site) for incoming aminoacyl-tRNA bearing the next amino acid in the growing polypeptide chain, and the P site (peptidyl site) where the tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide chain is located.


What is to attach?

Amino acids are attached to one end of the transfer RNA molecules and the other end of the tRNA moleule attaches to the a-site of the ribosome.


Where does tRNA take amino acids?

tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. The tRNA molecule binds to a specific amino acid at one end and has an anticodon at the other end that pairs with the corresponding mRNA codon, helping to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain.


Which end of tRNA act as the amino binding site?

The 3' end of the tRNA molecule is where the amino acid binds during protein synthesis. This binding occurs through the formation of a specific bond between the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 3' end of the tRNA molecule.


Why does tRNA have a T shape?

The shape of tRNA is specifically designed to be able to accept the amino acid according to its anticodon. If tRNA was in any other shape, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, the enzyme that adds amino acid to tRNA, would not be able to transfer the amino acid to tRNA.


What result would you expect if you mutate one of the four arms of a tRNA?
