RNA, Transfer

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: The small RNA molecules, 73-80 nucleotides long, that function during translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) to align AMINO ACIDS at the RIBOSOMES in a sequence determined by the mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). There are about 30 different transfer RNAs. Each recognizes a specific CODON set on the mRNA through its own ANTICODON and as aminoacyl tRNAs (RNA, TRANSFER, AMINO ACYL), each carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to the elongating peptide chains.  GEN; prefer specifics; for suppressor transfer RNA coord with GENES, SUPPRESSOR or SUPPRESSION, GENETIC   
Examples Anticodon; RNA, Transfer, Amino Acid-Specific; RNA, Transfer, Amino Acyl 		Other names tRNA; Transfer RNA; Suppressor Transfer RNA; RNA, Suppressor Transfer; Transfer RNA, Suppressor; RNA, Transfer, Suppressor
