Document Summary

The assembly of amino acids into polypeptides. In prokaryotes this process take place throughout the cell. In eukaryotes this takes place mostly in the cytoplasm: ) mrna messenger rna. Read in a 5" to 3" orientation: ) trna transfer rna. Bring amino acids to the ribosomes for addition to the polypeptide chain. Internal anticodon (3-nucleotide segment) is complimentary to mrna codons trna and mrna bind antiparallel to one another ex. trna linked to seranine pairs with codon agu in mrna. The anticodon of the trna that pairs with this is uca. Attached to 3" prime end is an amino acid specific to the anticodon distinctive structures. Anticodon is at the bottom of the structure. You could predict what the anticodon is because of the genetic code. More than one codon that codes for a protein. Amino acid attaches to the transfer end of the trna it has to be charged amino acylation (the addition of an amino acid)
