Codon-anticodon decoding site

The process of protein synthesis is called translation. The genetic code words on the mRNA are decoded by tRNA. Each tRNA has an anticodon that is complementary to a codon on the mRNA. In addition the tRNA is covalently linked to its correct amino acid. Thus hydrogen bonding between codon and anticodon brings the correct amino acid to the site of protein s)mthesis. Translation also occurs in three stages called initiation, chain elongation, and termination. [Pg.750]

The tRNA anticodon associates reversibly (ki and k i) with the codon in the 30S A-site within an area referred to as the decoding center. In an initial selection (screening) step, noncognate aa-tRNA EF-Tu GTP complexes with no match between the anticodon... [Pg.479]
