The opposite end of the folded structure, which is the 3' end of the tRNA, binds to its corresponding amino acid at an attachment site that is also three nucleotides long, invariably CCA.

The tRNA molecule has a distinctive folded structure with three hairpin loops that form the shape of a three-leafed clover. One of these hairpin loops contains a sequence called the anticodon ...

The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically 73-90 nucleotides long. The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers ...

The researchers from the Institute of Organic Chemistry were able to determine the 3D structure of SAMURI using X-ray crystallography and in collaboration with Professor Hermann Schindelin from ...
