Resource summary

tRNA
  1. base pairs with itself
    1. creates hairpin structures
      1. two strands in opposite directions
        1. each nucleotide base pairs with the one across from it
      2. amino acids covelently attach to the 3' end
        1. specific enzymes ensure the correct amino acids bind to the correct tRNA
      3. anticodon in tRNA
        1. when read amino acids are added
          1. start codon codes for amino acid: AUG starts
            1. stop codon doesn't code for an amino acid
