The 28 pages that link to Transfer RNA, each with the reason it gives.

• RibosomeRelated: Transfer RNA matches each decoded codon to the amino acid added by the ribosome.

• RNABroader topic: Its anticodon pairs with messenger RNA while its attached amino acid enters a growing protein.

• Mitochondrial DNARelated: Mitochondrial DNA encodes transfer RNAs used by mitochondrial ribosomes.

• Genetic codeRelated: Its anticodon matches a codon while delivering the assigned amino acid.

• Messenger RNACompared with: Unlike messenger RNA, it delivers amino acids rather than encoding their sequence.

• TranscriptionBroader topic: Transcription produces these adaptors needed for protein synthesis.

• Translation (biology)Related: Its anticodon matches each codon while delivering the corresponding amino acid.

• Ribosomal RNACompared with: Transfer RNA delivers amino acids, while rRNA builds and catalyzes the ribosomal framework.

• CodonRelated: Its anticodon recognizes codons while delivering the corresponding amino acid.

• Protein biosynthesisRelated: It matches each codon to the amino acid added to the growing chain.

• 30S ribosomal subunitRelated: Its anticodon is inspected against the codon held by the 30S subunit.

• Protein synthesis inhibitorRelated: Several inhibitors prevent transfer RNA from entering or moving through ribosomal sites.

• Proteinogenic amino acidRelated: Transfer RNAs deliver amino acids whose identities match the translated codons.

• Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetaseNarrower topic: Each synthetase recognizes particular tRNA identities for charging.

• Sydney BrennerCompared with: Unlike messenger RNA, it carries amino acids and decodes codons during protein synthesis.

• Bacterial protein synthesisRelated: Transfer RNAs match each translated codon to its corresponding amino acid.

• Non-coding RNABroader topic: Its function depends on RNA structure, not translation of its own sequence.

• SelenocysteineNarrower topic: A specialized transfer RNA is required to add selenocysteine to a growing protein.

• UracilBroader topic: Uracil occurs in its sequence and in modified bases derived from it.

• Har Gobind KhoranaRelated: Khorana’s code assignments concerned the amino acids delivered as RNA templates were translated.

• MupirocinRelated: Blocking the charging of isoleucine's transfer RNA disrupts bacterial translation.

• PyrrolysineNarrower topic: A dedicated transfer RNA reads UAG and carries pyrrolysine.

• IsoleucineRelated: Isoleucine-specific transfer RNAs deliver it to the ribosome.

• Robert W. HolleyNarrower topic: Holley determined the complete sequence of one transfer RNA, exposing the shared architecture of the class.

• Sidney AltmanRelated: Precursor transfer RNA provided the substrate whose processing revealed RNA catalysis.

• InosineRelated: Some transfer RNAs contain inosine in their anticodons.

• Nucleic acid structureBroader topic: Its cloverleaf secondary structure folds into a compact three-dimensional L shape.

• Post-transcriptional modificationRelated: Mature transfer RNAs require end processing and distinctive nucleotide modifications.
