Document Summary
In translation, cellular components are able to read the genetic message in the messenger rna sequence, and translate this message into the specific primary amino acid sequence of a protein trnatings. Enables the translation of the information in the mrna genetic message to a polypeptide. Able to transfer amino acids, from a pool of amino acids in the cytoplasm to a growing polypeptide strand in a ribosome. Made up of a single rna strand that is 70-90 nucleotides in length. There is complementarity along the trna molecule, resulting in hydrogen bonding between complementary nucleotide bases. An anticodon region of the trna molecule is a specific nucleotide triplet that forms complementary base-pairs with a specific mrna codon that codes for a specific amino acid. These anticodons are written in the 3"->5" direction that align with mrna codons in the 5"->3" direction.
