Structure Of tRNA Flashcards
1
Q
Describe where the anticodon on the tRNA is and where the amino acid protrudes from
A
Loop is formed which has the anticodon and the amino acid protrudes from the 3’ end of the tRNA molecule
2
Q
Why can the tRNA strand form into a 3D structure
A
Hydrogen bonding between base pairs
3
Q
The tRNA consists of what
A
Single RNA strand that is 80 Nucelotides
4
Q
What is the purpose of the aminoacyl tRNA synthetases
A
Catalyses the covalent bonding of the amino acids to the specific tRNA
5
Q
What is wobble
A
Flexible base pairing between the 3rd Nucelotides of the codons
