tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...
The global organization of the tRNA structure is highly conserved in all forms of life. Prominent features of the tRNA structure, as shown in the figure, include: an acceptor stem with the CCA ...
The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?
