What is the significance of synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNAs?

Posted July 10, 2023


Answer

Aminoacyl-tRNAs are substrates for translation. The main function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis is to match amino acids precisely with tRNAs that contain the corresponding anticodon. This is key to determining how the genetic code is interpreted as amino acids.
