Abstract

The genetic code is deciphered by the anticodons of tRNAs,whichcarryanaminoacidatthe3 end,bindtoaspecificcodonin the mRNA, and transfer their amino acid to the growingpolypeptide chain on the ribosome. In codon-anticodon inter-actions in the ribosome, the second and third bases (positions35 and 36) of the anticodon base pair with the second and firstbases of the codon, respectively, following Watson-Crick(WC)
