Examples
-
The tRNA is combined with a particular amino acid; the holoenzyme catalyzes the transfer of the amino acid to the amino acid string attached to another part of the holoenzyme.

-
In extant biological systems, the aminoacylation of tRNA is catalyzed by protein enzymes.
-
Zachriel, I'm familiar with papers indicating a linkage between codons and amino acids based on the presence of a disproportionate number of codons in tRNA linked to the encoded aa.
-
During the manufacture of a protein, transfer RNA, also called tRNA, normally places an amino acid at the end of a growing chain of protein building blocks.

-
Mechanistically, Onconase is thought to internalize, where it degrades intracellular RNAs such as tRNA and double-stranded RNA, and thereby suppresses protein synthesis.
-
The potential antecedents of the mRNA (codons), the tRNA (anticodons), and ribosome (the DRT) all exist in binding sites from the outset, facilitating evolution toward a modern system.
-
Let's stipulate that stereochemical properties describe tRNA.
-
If so, what is the point of the remainder of the tRNA, its 3-D shape, its chemical make-up or the synthetases themselves?
-
What plausible evidence is there for a prebiotic soup giving rise to tRNA, small catalytic RNA and amino acids in a mixture free of other inhibiting organic chemicals?
