Description

A transfer RNA molecule has two ends. One end has a specific

binding site for a particular amino acid. The other end has a

particular sequence of three nucleotides, the anticodon that can base

pair with a codon.

The appropriate molecule of t-RNA attaches to and carries the

activated amino acid to the ribosome. Anticodon base pair with a

codon in order to bring the specific amino acid to the correct place
