anticodons, plural;
  1. A sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA

  1. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA molecule (usually about 74-95 nucleotides) that transfers a specific active 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. ...
  2. The triplet of contiguous bases on tRNA that binds to the codon sequence of nucleotides on mRNA. Example: The codon for Glycine is GGG. The anticodon for Glycine is CCC.
  3. A sequence of three nucleotides on the transfer RNA molecule that recognizes and pairs with a specific codon on a messenger RNA molecule; helps control the sequence of amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain. PICTURE
  4. on the tRNA, a complementary three nucleotide site which recognizes and binds to a specific codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis.
  5. The three nitrogenous bases complementary to a codon, located on tRNA, used to match the correct amino acids.
  6. A triplet of nucleotides in a tRNA molecule that pairs with a complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon, in an mRNA molecule during translation. See codon; mRNA; RNA; tRNA.
  7. a sequence of three nucleotides on a molecules of tRNA that is complementary to the base sequences on a codon of mRNA
  8. A sequence of 3 letters found on TRNA that pairs with the codon of MRNA.
  9. A base triplet provided by three nucleotides within a loop of transfer RNA that is complementary in its base-pairing properties to a triplet (the codon) in mRNA. The matching of codon to anticodon provides the mechanism for translating the genetic code into a specific sequence of amino acids.
  10. The 3 bases of a tRNA molecule that form a complementary match to an mRNA codon and thus allow the tRNA to perform the key translation step in the process of information transfer from nucleic acid to protein.
