The ribosome converts genetic information into protein by selecting aminoacyl-tRNAs whose anticodons base pair to an mRNA codon. Mutations in the tRNA body can perturb this process and affect fidelity. The Hirsh suppressor is a well-studied tRNATrpharboring a G24A mutation that allows readthrough...

It has long been recognized that the thermodynamics of mRNA–tRNA base pairing is insufficient to explain the high fidelity and efficiency of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) selection by the ribosome. To rationalize this apparent inconsistency, Hopfield propose

The study serendipitously found evidence for another proposal about tRNAs. Each modern tRNA has at its lower end an "anticodon" that it uses to recognize and stick to a complementary codon on an mRNA. The anticodon is relatively distant from the synthetase binding site, but scientists since the...
anticodon, a string of three key bases on the tRNA, match with three bases on the mRNA message called the codon. That is only the first function of tRNA, as each molecule also carries with it an amino acid which matches the mRNA codon. The ribosome functions to polymerize the amino ...
Be sure to mention the terms code, codon, anticodon, mRNA, tRNA, amino acids, and ribosomes in your answer. Explain how the genetic code allows translation of the information contained in an mRNA into a protein sequence. Outline reaso...
