Asked in UHS MDCAT 2010 2010Moderate

Amino acid attaches at which site of RNA:

Correct answer: C. 3'-site with terminal OH

  • A. Anticodon site
  • B. Ribosomes recognition site
  • C. 3'-site with terminal OH
  • D. Activation enzyme recognition site

Explanation

[A] At anticodon site is complementary to a corresponding codon in mRNA and binds to that specific complementary codons[B] Ribosome recognition site plays an important role in translational initiation [C] Amino acids are attached to the tRNA 3'-end as a prerequisite for entering the ribosome for protein synthesis.[D] Activation enzyme site is imp for binding of speecfic enzymes required for translation
