QuickView for transfer rna (compound)

PubChem Substance

Name:	RNA, Transfer
PubChem Substance ID:	167519
Description:	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.
Synonyms:	Suppressor transfer RNA; tRNA; 9014-25-9; RIBONUCLEIC ACIDS, TRANSFER; RNA, Transfer; Transfer RNA
