tRNAs and ribosomes (article) | Translation | Khan Academy
Structure and roles of transfer RNAs and ribosomes. Codons, anticodons, and wobble. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
RNA structure and function (article) | Khan Academy
Learn about the structure of RNA and the many functions that RNA carries out in the cell.
tRNA (video) | Khan Academy
Why is tRNA called the adapter molecule? How is it involved in protein synthesis and what does it look like? Watch this video to understand the structure and function of tRNA.
RNA and protein synthesis review (article) | Khan Academy
The two parts consist of transcription and translation. Transcription is the step where the genetic information from DNA is copied onto mRNA and sent out of the nucleus. Translation is when the the …
Molecular structure of RNA (video) | Khan Academy
RNA plays various roles in cells, including messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and microRNA, and it is a vital part of processes such as transcription, translation, and …
Types of RNA (article) | Khan Academy
Each tRNA is specific to a particular amino acid and an anticodon that pairs with the corresponding codon on the mRNA strand. tRNA molecules have a distinctive cloverleaf structure formed by …
Stages of translation (article) | Khan Academy
Each tRNA has an anticodon, a set of three nucleotides that binds to a matching mRNA codon through base pairing. The other end of the tRNA carries the amino acid that's specified by the codon.
Protein synthesis (article) | NOVA Labs | Khan Academy
Transfer RNAs (tRNA) enter the ribosome carrying individual amino acids. The large ribosome subunit bonds these amino acids together to make a protein. When a tRNA releases its amino acid, it exits …
Nucleic acids (article) | Khan Academy
RNA nucleotides may also bear adenine, guanine and cytosine bases, but instead of thymine they have another pyrimidine base called uracil (U). As shown in the figure above, each base has a unique …
Overview of translation (article) | Khan Academy
One end of each tRNA has a sequence of three nucleotides called an anticodon, which can bind to specific mRNA codons. The other end of the tRNA carries the amino acid specified by the codons.
