Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA (usually about 74-95 nucleotides) that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. It has a 3' terminal site for amino acid attachment. This covalent linkage is catalyzed by an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase. It also contains a three base region called the anticodon that can base pair to the corresponding three base codon region on mRNA. Each type of tRNA molecule can be attached to only one type of amino acid, but because the genetic code contains multiple codons that specify the same amino acid, tRNA molecules bearing different anticodons may also carry the same amino acid.

wtf does this have to do with anything? Is there a question involved? You seem to like to post random statements that do not invoke conversation at all...wait, i guess it invoked a response from me, but I didn't even finish reading all that shit. What's the purpose of this post? You puzzle me in an unnerving way.

EDIT: like that guy in the public restroom that looks like he's watching you pee.

He just likes copy/pasting random things in an attempt to look smart.
