Transfer RNA may be the oldest type of RNA molecule in the cell, and its fundamental role in gene translation has not changed much as life evolved. Secondary functions have arisen in the course of ...

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation ...

Transfer RNA is an ancient molecule, central to every task a cell performs and thus essential to all life. A new study indicates that it is also a great historian, preserving some of the earliest ...

In cells transfer RNA (tRNA) translates genetic information from the encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and in-depth theoretical ...

Queuosine is not built into proteins or DNA. Instead, it slots into transfer RNA (tRNA), the molecular interpreters that read genetic codes. By modifying the wobble position of tRNAs for histidine, ...

Molecular Biologist Discovered Transfer RNA. By Martin Weil. October 5, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

Transfer RNA carries out a final step in the process of making proteins. It is often at this step where mistakes, or mutations, in genetic code turn into incomplete molecules.

Researchers accepted that it performed some important functions—messenger RNA, for instance, carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm, while transfer RNA transports ...
